There was a problem hiding this comment.
I was seeing some inconsistent behaviour on YouTube videos on Fronts in Safari. Adding debounce seemed to help. Would value a second opinion.

What does this change?
As requested by the Ophan team, the current implementation of the YouTube player means attention times under-report as there may be little engagement when a video is playing. The historic mechanism to ensure Ophan continues to tracking attention time for video has long been unused.
This PR adds component attention time and ensures page attention time is captured by using the
useVideoAttentionTrackinghook implemented into the SelfHosted video player. That hook ensure attention time updates continue to be sent by dispatching events the Ophan tracker expects/Hook:
