And I feel pretty pumped about blocking them.
Not a single word on user reaction.
Do we need that, though?
i avoid youtube, so i don’t really mind, but if they put more of those and less before or during the video, that would make me avoid it a bit less
I unabashedly pirate with adblockers on my computer and alternative apps on mobile. My mobile app stopped working the other day. I just stopped watching youtube on mobile completely. It is not at all worth it to watch ads for even one minute, in my considered opinion.
Yeah, if at any point YouTube succeeds in killing the adblockers, then I’ll just stop watching youtube and only watch the creators that upload to Nebula
Use a Firefox fork with uBlock and you’ll have a decent time of it. Including playback in the background
Grayjay, LibreTube, NewPipe, Invidious, Piped. If one seems to be down, the others always seem to work. Haven’t been on YouTube in months.
hasn’t Pornhub been doing this forever?
I have a brilliant idea for YouTube: put porn ads in on your pauses and I bet those eyeballs will watch more ads than content! Everyone wins… except the children…
This article didn’t explain anything. I still don’t know what these ads are.
Thanks for downvoting me instead of explaining it. Very helpful 😂
It did explain it, I thought. Pause ads:
the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it
Because screw you if you want to pause a video to read something
Thank you. I read that part, but it doesn’t explain what else happens. It doesn’t really give much details. So no ads all throughout the video until it is paused? Does that add disappear when I resume the video?.. Etc. Like more context would be helpful. Unless that’s the only thing they know?
Of course it disappears when you start playing the video again. Some video sites already have had ads like this for a few years.
Fuck Google
