I have no doubt there are good uses. Of course, that kind of screws people who have say, two monitors, with the video open in one while they are in another window. You could certainly argue they are not actively watching the tab, but they could be watching a show while they work or chat with family.

Also, how long before the video streaming services use the api to adjust streamer compensation rates based on active/not active watchers?
