Vietnam is passing a new law, going into effect on February 15, that will ban unskippable ads as well as delays before closing banner ads.

Pihole doesn’t work for YouTube, because they host the ads on the same servers as the videos. Blocking ads would also block videos. And uBlock Origin is a constant game of whack-a-mole, with YouTube constantly trying new ways to evade the ad blocker.
Hell, they’ve even started embedding the ad directly into the same video stream if they think you’re using an ad blocker, so it’s all one contiguous video that runs straight from the ad into the video you wanted to watch. Then they just block you from skipping ahead in the video stream until the ad is done.
So you’re still smug, and offering misleading advice. Peak substack vibes.
I’ve never had Ublock origin fail. Plus, there’s Sponsorblock for blocking in-video ads.
Alternately, you could use an app that does it for you.
Finally, I don’t know what substack is, but you seem like you’re being kind of a knob for wanking so hard over a half-assed joke, even after getting the help you were complaining about.
You’re probably using a chromium browser.
Nope, Firefox. YouTube does A/B testing for their ad methods, so what works for you won’t work for everyone.
I’ve maybe had a fail twice. Nothing a quick F5 didn’t fix.
they havnt evaded unblock origin so far, its only they have slowed the start of a video for a few seconds. i would imagine theyw ould try to increase the starting time for a video overtime.
i think that is with twitch only, its very expensive to do, thats why youtube hasnt done it yet.
