But will it still play an ad before the video?
- 2 unskippable pre rolls that advertise drugs to treat the causes of the emergency condition
- 5 minute long explanation of the creator’s life story
- 1 minute long subscription beg
- 2 extended sponsor breaks with awkward segues
- first 30 seconds of content
- patient is dead

Yeah one of those 30 minutes ads there used to be (not sure any more I have premium & ad block).
Ad free, right?
RIGHT?!
Is there any better place for hospital/coffin ads?
slow clap
Guess it’s better than making me sit through an ad first, but is this really that big of news otherwise?
I’m not sure how I feel about the authorities being alerted. What if someone is kinda bored and is looking for videos for educational use.
Edit: ok I read the headline wrong. Oops
I may be reading it wrong but this is just not what the article says.
By “highlight authoritative sources” they mean display credible videos made by the authorities at the very top of the search results.
And within the article you’ll read that one of the first instructions given in said videos is to call an emergency service, and not that youtube is going to do it for you
Nothing 911 could tell you on the phone and would be faster…
Visual video reference. 911 could also tell me how to change my oil but a video is a lot easier
i mean yeah for sure, take your time in an emergency and watch the video first
Baby steps towards a return of curated truthful content? Nah, just CYA so they don’t get sued.
What? The free market doesn’t just work?
