I think the authors are overlooking that a Disney movie is 1.5 hrs long and has the opportunity to cater to multiple audiences (eg, insert a joke that parents get but flies over the kids’ head), whereas an ad is viewed for a split second. A

Does more pollen translate to more trees (in theory)? Is this earth’s way to fight global warming through an increase in vegetation?

“Why would the cohort membership change frequently? Isn't it based on your browsing habits?” -> cohorts need to be rebalanced over time, so your cohort membership could change.

Sure, but you’re trading accessibility/entertainment/<something else people value and typically accept as a given for living in Manhattan>. At a certain point, it makes more sense to leave Manhattan to one of the other borou

You need to think about it more holistically - not just YouTube, but Google as a whole (think about all the various Google enterprise products, cloud, etc).

That’s exactly right. I can’t talk numbers, but a consumer is more likely to stick with a channel/app by X% (where X is a significant number) if s/he watches Y shows. Y increases as X increases.

YouTube is not the content producer, rather strikes deals with content producers. The reality is there is consolidation in the media world, with a few mega corporations managing most channels. They typically bundle a few channels together f

Does it require specialized equipment? If yes, what’s the value of video vs fingerprint reader that’s more ubiquitous?

Had the same idea as Keynua. I quickly (foolishly?) dismissed it because of Deep Fake. How would they ensure trust in the video?

I'd be curious to see whether this expands into the BuildingLink market.

Is it just about purchasing access to certain consumer groups, or also a defensive move to preserve human cashiers jobs?

This is an area I am actively looking into at the moment for my employer. It's an interesting project, and I am excited to see work in this domain. Note that this will not pass QC at any broadcaster/OTT. Our tolerance is typically

I thought long and hard about IoT devices and their value. For the most part, I agree that most IoT devices could exist and provide the same value as a non-IoT counterpart. Do you really need a connection to the weather service to know the

Not to sound facetious, but data on a "remote server" could be accessed through a (legal or non-legal) backdoor. So this amendment is little relief.
