• YouTube is testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers, integrating ads directly into videos to make them indistinguishable from the main content.
  • This new method complicates ad blocking, including tools like SponsorBlock, which now face challenges in accurately identifying and skipping sponsored segments.
  • The feature is currently in testing and not widely rolled out, with YouTube encouraging users to subscribe to YouTube Premium for an ad-free experience.

    Fair enough. I completely forgot about peertube. Been using newpipe predominantly and odysee was the first alternative that came to mind.

    Thanks for reminding me about peer tube. A client recommendation would be great. I’ve used p2play.

    Edit: I actually looked into the whole odysee debacle and it’s disgusting,so I will try to use peertube (newpipe also supports it,but,again,completely forgot about it).
