See, I have no doubt they would if they could, but i doubt such things are actually feasible.

Like right now I just refresh the page to skip ads on my phone.

Hell, phones have them built in. Your iPhone literally knows not to dim the screen if it can see that your eyes are looking at it.

This isn’t exposed to the apps, however. Yet…

I think some vr headsets have them so it’s not like you need a huge package either cus it’s 95% screen

Them existing and Google being able to enforce people turn them on, and consistently blocking everyone who doesn’t, is a whole other problem that is a lot more complex.

This is why it’s dangerous that YouTube’s company also makes Android.

It’s entirely feasible.

Amazon had full head tracking, including gaze, in the Fire Phone a decade ago.

I mean, it’s technically feasible, just not practically feasible, like flying cars.

It’s practically feasible, just not yet deemed profitable enough to do.

Flying cars are not practically feasible.

They could.

Default is 60s ad block. However, enabling ‘Regular User’ feature will bring this down to a more convenient 15s block so you get your content faster every time. To enable this feature, tap Allow when prompted for camera permissions.

I remember playing with a similar feature on my Galaxy S3 back in the day. Eye scrolling. The phone would scroll for you when it sensed you looking at the bottom of the screen. That was the S3. It was not perfect but very usable. My hands always felt faster so I never kept it on but it was a fun thing to play with. I’m sure the only thing stopping them is the fear of backlash. We’ll get there in time I’m sure :/

The tech exist but enforcing that people use it is another matter. They cannot even properly paywall Picture in Picture and background play on IOS.
