> However, upon reading this blog post, it does seem he's using the official API so I guess he thinks he'll be fine as long as he doesn't block ads.

The idea of strapping something to my face that's going to project ads into my eyeballs that I cannot look away from--well, let's say it's pretty clear technology took a wrong term some time ago.

Apple should do the right thing and enforce a strong "no ads" policy for this product. Keep it premium for people who shell out thousands of dollars for it.

You can get rid of the ads on YouTube by paying 0.4% of the Vision Pro base model price per month.

That does nothing for all the "sponsor segments" embedded in the videos.

Try sponsorblock, or stn which includes it.

AFAIK, sponsorblock isn't going to work with a 3rd-party YouTube viewer app like this.

Yeah, I guess STN (a viewer app in which sponsorblock works) is of the variety that TFA says makes Google "grumpy."

You can look away from it. The OS doesn’t give apps access to the eye tracking info.
