Reuploaded this to also not be a short petition: https://chng.it/jnrxQzhNQD I also recomment watching JB's video, she goes a bit more in depth: • Sad News for ASMR Fans Everywhere Millions of people, including myself, use ASMR to fall asleep to. Now YouTube wants to take away the creator's choice of placing ads at the end of videos, and enforce it. This means every new monetized ASMR video will end with an ad, likely waking up the viewer, rendering all ASMR uploads useless for sleep. YouTube is implementing these changes in November 2023, and going back from there will be nigh impossible once they see their ad revenue going up. Sign this petition and let's try to keep things the way they are, with the choice in the hands of the creators!
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
