Q & A
Roku公司近期遇到了什么问题?
-Roku公司近期遇到的问题是关于用户同意的概念问题,即在没有用户同意的情况下强制用户接受新的服务条款,包括强制仲裁协议,以及可能在未来的专利中插入广告。
为什么演讲者认为这些公司具有所谓的“强奸犯心态”?
-演讲者认为这些公司具有所谓的“强奸犯心态”,因为他们采取了一些不考虑用户同意的实践,使用不正当手段强迫用户接受他们的服务条款或广告,这种行为类似于对用户的隐私和选择权的侵犯。
演讲者提到的“强制仲裁协议”是什么?
-“强制仲裁协议”是指用户在使用某些服务或产品之前必须同意的法律条款,这些条款通常要求用户放弃通过法院解决争议的权利,而只能通过私下仲裁来解决问题。
Roku的专利申请是关于什么的?
-Roku的专利申请是关于在设备暂停媒体内容时,电视能够检测到暂停事件并插入定制广告的技术。这意味着即使用户通过HDMI输入观看的内容原本没有广告,电视也能在暂停时插入广告。
演讲者为什么鼓励观众使用广告拦截器?
-演讲者鼓励观众使用广告拦截器,因为他认为即使他通过广告获得收入,观众花费的时间和隐私比他从广告中获得的微小收益更为重要。他希望观众能够控制自己的观看体验,避免不必要的干扰和隐私侵犯。
演讲者对于购买电视后被插入广告的行为有何看法?
-演讲者认为,即使用户为电视和内容支付了全价,也不应该在购买后被插入广告。他认为这种行为是对消费者同意权的不尊重,是一种行业趋势,需要消费者通过使用广告拦截器等方式进行抵制。
演讲者提到了哪些方法可以帮助用户避免广告和隐私侵犯?
-演讲者提到了使用广告拦截器如uBlock Origin、PF Blocker和OPNsense等,以及连接自己的设备(如Linux盒子)到电视上,避免使用智能电视操作系统,以此来避免广告和隐私侵犯。
演讲者如何看待智能电视默认设置中的隐私侵犯问题?
-演讲者认为智能电视默认设置中的隐私侵犯问题是一个严重的问题,因为这些电视默认会收集用户的个人数据并可能出售给第三方,而不是保护用户的隐私。他建议用户在购买电视后检查并调整这些设置。
演讲者对于内容创作者和消费者之间的关系有何建议?
-演讲者建议消费者如果喜欢某个内容创作者,应该直接通过链接或其他方式支持他们,而不是通过观看广告来支持。他认为观看广告对消费者的时间损失远大于创作者从广告中获得的微小收益。
演讲者对于当前广告行业的整体态度是什么?
-演讲者对当前广告行业的整体态度是负面的,他认为这个行业变得越来越具有侵扰性和不道德,不断侵犯用户的同意权和隐私,消费者应该采取措施抵制这种趋势。
Outlines
🚫对Roku公司侵犯用户选择权的批评
该段落讨论了Roku公司被指控侵犯用户同意权的问题。作者通过比喻,将公司的某些行为比作强奸犯心态,即不顾用户同意与否,只关注自身利益。作者提到了之前对独立维修人员的错误指控,以及Roku公司通过强制仲裁协议限制用户使用电视的行为。此外,还提到了Roku申请的专利,该专利允许在电视设备检测到内容暂停时插入广告,即使用户通过HDMI输入观看的内容原本没有广告。作者认为这种行为是对用户选择权的侵犯,并且强调了消费者使用广告拦截器的道德和伦理责任。
💰广告与消费者权益的冲突
在这一段中,作者讨论了广告与消费者权益之间的冲突。他提到,尽管他通过广告获得收入,但他仍然鼓励观众使用广告拦截器,因为这会减少广告对观众时间的浪费。作者认为,即使观众通过观看广告为他带来微薄的收入,这也不足以让广告成为对观众时间的公平要求。他强调,消费者现在面临的问题是,即使他们为电视和内容支付了全价,也不能避免广告的侵扰。作者提到,他通过连接自己的设备来避免广告和监视,并且他认为这是消费者的道德和伦理责任去尽可能地避免广告。
🛠️对智能电视侵犯隐私的警告
最后一段讨论了智能电视对用户隐私的侵犯。作者提到,尽管他购买了一台高端的智能电视,但电视默认设置中包含了许多侵犯用户隐私的功能,例如监视用户观看内容的选项,以及默认关闭的不出售个人信息的设置。作者警告说,智能电视内置的麦克风可以监听用户在客厅的对话。他强调,消费者应该意识到智能电视的这些不友好选项,并采取措施保护自己的隐私和数据。作者呼吁观众支持他们喜欢的创作者和记者,而不是通过观看广告来资助他们。

hey everybody how's it going hope you're
having a lovely day because I'm about to
ruin it this is uh regarding a company
called Roku I went over them recently
they seem to have a problem with the
concept of consent uh this is something
I have gotten a lot of criticism for not
only in my comments but also on Reddit
because very often I will say that these
companies have what I like to call a
rapist mentality they take part in
practices where they don't really care
whether or not you consent they simply
want you to uh to comply anyway and very
often they will use nefarious means to
do this and one of the reasons that I
started using that phrase is because
four years ago you actually had $25
million invested by Major automakers
into the Coalition for safe and secure
data that did everything they could to
convince Massachusetts voters that
independent repair men are rapists that
we're going to follow you through a
parking lot that we're going to force
your garage door open and then force
ourselves on you and they spend quite a
bit of time in that commercial actually
claiming that the majority of the uh of
people that advocate for sexual assault
victims agreed with them that if right
to repair gets paid
that you are going to be hurt so I've
kind of tried to do this thing where I
where I turn the word around and I take
a word that has been used on us and I
rightfully so use it on them because uh
unlike uh the unlike us who actually
care about the consent of our customers
before we we take away their freedom
their privacy their right to do what
they wish with what you own often times
the manufacturer is the one doing it and
I could not think of a better example
than Roku a few weeks ago they decided
that you're not allowed to use your
television anymore unless you click
agree on a screen that forces you into a
forced arbitration agreement you you
bought the TV without the agreement but
now you can't even switch to an HDMI
input unless you accepted new terms they
held your television hostage unless you
agreed they wouldn't let you leave
unless you said yes that in my opinion
takes a rapist mentality but wait it
gets better because I said I was going
to ruin your day and I don't think I've
done it yet this is a patent application
from Roku and I'm going to summarize it
for you this is so that you could insert
advertisements in between the device
that has an HDMI output in the
television so this means that the
television will be able to detect when
you've paused content and it will be
able to insert an advertisement into
that content even if the content that
you were using the HDMI part to view had
no advertisements on because apparently
this is something that users are asking
for let's read over the pen HDMI
customized advertisement insertion when
the media device pauses the media
content the display device can determine
that a pause event has occurred and
insert an advertisement shown on the
display device further some embodiments
include determining the context and or
content of the media content that is
paused and determining an ad that is
customized at the determined context or
content displayed on the display device
okay so let's go over this
[Music]
you
okay so let's go over this
so people will very often say that
advertisements are Justified because you
did not pay for the content so if you're
viewing television via you know using an
antenna like I did back in the 90s and
you have an antenna and you have your
little vcr and you're recording it
you're not paying for that content so
the way that they monetize It Is by
having commercials or when you view
YouTube if you don't use YouTube premium
you're you're not paying for the content
you're not paying them for the hosting
you're not paying the Creator so you
become the product and they will serve
you an advertisement so that they can
get paid the argument is made that if
you're not paying for the content the
way they fund it is advertisements the
problem here is that you purchased your
television and if I paid $100 or $200
for several seasons of of a teleion show
like you know 24 heroes or something
like that the entire point of me paying
full retail price is so that I do not
have to see ads the entire reason that I
am using the HDMI input of the
television and my own content is because
I don't want to watch ads I don't want
to watch normal television with
commercials and above all I don't want
to use the garbage malware spy wear
ridden trash on your smart TV to watch
television or to watch shows that are
going to be filled with ads I don't want
the smart TV experience where I am being
spied on and advertised to so as a
result I will connect my own device to
the television the entire reason that I
connect a Linux box to my television is
because I want to avoid ads and I want
to avoid being spied on and I highly
suggest the same for you I have a
YouTube channel with 2 million
subscribers and if you watch my videos
and watch ads I make money in spite of
that on this channel many times over the
past 10 years I have suggested that the
people who watch this channel use
something like you block origin I have
something called PF Blocker on my router
I know I know OPN sense is better I
don't want to reconfigure the whole
thing from scratch point being I make
money when you watch ads and I still
suggest that you have ad blockers
installed the reason for that is that
the one 100th of a penny that I get when
you watch 50 or 200 of my videos is not
worth the amount of time that you lose
from that ad I make such a negligible
amount of money from something that is
going to cause you uh so much grief if
you actually don't skip the ad that it's
just it's just not a fair ask in my
opinion so feel free to use an ad
blocker I'm saying that from from my
perspective I encourage you to use ad
blockers the reason that I feel that
using ad block is becoming not just uh
Justified but your moral and ethical
Duty as a consumer at this point is
because the we're at a point where
paying full price for your television
and paying full price for your content
is not good enough it doesn't matter and
again this is one of the things that I
keep talking about when I say changing
the terms of the sale whether you're
talking about a company deciding that
you need to accept a forced arbitration
agreement that was not there when you
bought the product in order to use it or
we're talking about a company that says
hey I know you paid full price for your
television and I know you paid $100 just
to view this content without ads rather
than viewing a recording from
terrestrial television we're going to
seert ads into it anyway you bought it
without ads but you're going to watch it
with ads now and this is part of a
pattern that I've been going over with
many companies not respecting the
concept of consent not respecting the
concept that there were terms of a sale
that were set and that you cannot
continuously change them and let's not
even get into the fact that the entire
reason that I connect a Linux dbn
desktop to my television is that I don't
have to deal with all the spying
nonsense is that you're trying to put
that in here anyway so again the entire
reason that I do not use the operating
system that comes with my television is
because by Nature it spies on You by
default it spies on you I do not want to
hear any crap in the comments about how
well you bought a Roku TV those things
are cheap you deserve your ads or well
you're getting ads because you're using
YouTube without paying that's why you
get your ads no no no no no no no when
you buy a top-of-the-line television the
flagship LG television from a major
brand that thing costs over $3,500 an LG
G3 OLED 77 in I will show you at the end
of this video the settings that are on
by default in this piece of [ __ ] whether
it is settings related to the television
being able to see which content I'm
viewing or a little button that says do
not sell my information that by default
is turned off in a g of [ __ ] that I paid
$ 3500 $100 for that is an excuse that
people use when they want to to [ __ ] on
people this is when you have people
going oh you use Android you must be
poor oh you use a PC you must be poor oh
you drive an F-150 you should get a
Silverado oh you have a Silverado you
deserve to it to break you should have
got a Dodge R it's one of these things
that we use to just kind of fight
against each other rather than look at
the people that are actually screwing Us
in this case the entire reason that I
wish to use my dbn Linux desktop with my
television is because I don't want it to
spy on me and my television as a will
show you in the video at the end of this
my little like LG anti sponsor is that
my television is telling me in no
uncertain terms in big fond on a 77 inch
screen that it is spying on
me so I decid you know what I'm not
going to use that I'm going to connect
my own HDMI cable to my television so
that I could watch my content without
being spied on without my data being
sold by default and without ads so what
you said is you know what you don't want
to use my system you don't want to use
use my spying system you don't want to
use my ads you don't want to deal with
my trackers [ __ ] you I'm going to put
those on the HDMI inputs anyway you want
to try and plug something into this TV
I'm going to watch what you're doing you
want to plug something without ads into
this television that you actually
[ __ ] paid for suck it because I'm
going to put ads on it
anyway that that's where we're going and
again to be clear at this point it's not
even about me suggesting that you use ad
block I am suggesting that it is your
moral and ethical duty to go go out of
your way to avoid advertising at all
costs because this industry stopped
caring about consent a long time ago and
it's becoming more and more obvious as
you read patents like this and as you
see what companies are doing to be clear
again this YouTube channel it is I do
not have sponsors in this video and when
you look at the way I talk about
companies whether LG Lenovo or anybody
else it never will it just it's not
happening it's it's it's like I know
that the the only route that this
channel has to actually make money is AD
revenue and I am going out of my way to
suggest dare I say it to beg you you
block origin PF block RNG whatever the
hell the equivalent is an OPN sense go
out of your way to block every single ad
humanly possible if you like a Creator
if you like what they do if you really
want to support them find a link send
them something and to be clear you could
watch dozens of my videos I'm going to
get a fraction of a penny if you want to
support content creators if you want to
support journalists if you want to
support your actual local newspaper find
a way to pay for the content or find a
way to send them something directly but
we need to kind of start standing up
against this industry because this
entire industry is becoming just so
predatory and so disgusting to the point
where every single piece of data must be
mined from every user and like it drives
me so nuts when I read comments from
people saying you bought something cheap
you signed up for that I never [ __ ]
consented to LG selling my personal data
but they assume that I did I never
consented to a Roku television being
able to tell what I'm watching and
inject ads into my material but they
think that that's what I'm doing and
when I when I say no when I say I don't
want to use the smart system on the TV I
want to plug in my own they think it is
appropriate to tell me to go f myself
because we're going to put the ads there
anyway don't buy this [ __ ] that's it for
today and as always I hope you learned
something I'll see you all in the next
video bye now this here is an G3 OLED
television that also has cat scratchers
on the side that's my way of trying to
bribe my cat into not scratching my
speaker we we'll see if that works in
all seriousness this is in the menu of
this television if you go in this me any
one of the default profiles and you go
to privacy in terms what you'll notice
with a smart television is there's an
option called do not sell my personal
information and because we live in a
dystopian world this option is not by
default checked it should be the default
when you pay over $3,000 for a
television that you do not sell my
personal information but even when you
pay that much for a television the
default is that they will sell your
personal data which is why you should
never connect a television to the
internet particularly when these
televisions have microphones built into
them that allow them to listen to what
it is you say in your living room there
are many other settings hidden in here
that talk about being able to see what
it is you're watching or what you're
doing to be able to make recommendations
to you and personalize advertisements to
you if you browse around the television
and 100% of those options is the
consumer unfriendly option and The
Advertiser grabs your data sells it and
uses it however they please option
