YouTube has found a new way to bypass ad blockers by integrating ads directly into video content via "server-side ad insertion," complicating the detection and blocking of ads. How will ad blockers respond?

    ah yes all you have to do is spend like 100 USD yearly, ever year, and pay for features you don’t want, just so youtube can maybe stop posting ads.

      It’s not a “maybe” for me. I haven’t seen a YT ad in years. That’s Premium.

        that’s great, how long until you think youtube makes a new premium tier that starts showing ads?

        Or that one notable bug where premium shows you ads.

        my point is that there is no guarantee in the quality of the service, they have no legal requirements for it (here in murica at least)

          I have no thoughts on the hypothetical of what if YT starts showing ads on Premium.
