At some point we'll have to start playing the actual game instead of watching let's plays

There's ads on youtube?

>>712711813 (OP)
i don't think i've ever seen an ad on youtube. twitch is way worse and much more proactive with their war on ad blockers.

>>712711813 (OP)
>people are blocking ads
>so let's put more intrusive ads
Jewgle really can't catch a clue, can they?

Brave

>>712711989
They put a jeet in charge, don’t know what they expected.

>>712711941
This, Twitch is unwatchable without some paypigs giving you a sub

For now uBlock on FF still seems to work fine but those kikes can't force me to watch ads, I'll just not go on YT.

Reminder that normalfags think ads in the middle of a youtube vid is normal and expected

SAAR PLEASE DISABLE AD BLACK SAAR YOU ARE BEING SELFISH

>>712711813 (OP)
Does Youtube even allow creators to disable ads on their videos anymore?

>>712711989
You severely underestimate the amount of people who don't know about ad-blockers and if told will not install it because it's "wrong".

>You don't understand we only make $100 billion a year when we could be making $200 billion a year :(
I don't meant to sound like a commie but this whole "the line must go up" world we live in is just fucking horrendous

>Watch youtube on my computer, zero ads UBlock makes it great
>Watch youtube on my phone, one ad every six minutes or so
Judebros, why must you punish us goys so? I get that CEOs needs their sixth mansion but this might be taking it a bit too far!

>>712711813 (OP)
just bring back banner ads
god mobile fags really did ruin everything

>>712712240
I think they can, if they don't want the video to be monetised for whatever reason (it's different from when yt demonetises it). But given that nowadays you get ads even if you have yt premium, I wouldn't be surprised if they still show the ads on videos like that.

>>712712240
you still get obligatory ads every X minutes of watching videos

>install Ublock Origin
>open Youtibe in Mozilla Fireforx
>haven't seen an add in years
It really is that simple

>>712712240

>on the internet

You also need sponsor block. An ad in the video is just as bad if not worse than an ad before a video.

>>712712334
>you get ads even if you have yt premium
Why are you lying. You don't get ads with premium. You get ads with premium lite between music videos and shorts, but if you watch shorts you deserve all the bad in the world anyway.

For me the star rating not returning even after the removal of dislikes.

Everyone ITT claiming you get no ads, don't worry, they'll push this out to everyone soon enough

>>712712212
They now are delaying starting the video for people on ublock origin.

They've begun cracking down on that, too. If they detect you're using an adblocker or third party app, they'll block every device on your network until you log in to "prove you're not a bot." If you don't log in (such as when using third party apps) then you can't access youtube at all, and of course if you do ever log in then they can properly track and ban you anyway.

>>712712638
I already got this
then Ublock was updated
then I stopped getting it

>>712712638
I love how they're pushing out customized strategies depending on your account, like a supercharged A & B testing. UBO has been useless for the past 3 years for me on my account, even with updating the filters and trying out custom ones, and since those years I have to watch videos in the incognito tab

>>712712749
It's not gonna work once they roll it out for you

>>712712774
I logged in and never got banned

>>712712450
Saar, wake up. One year ago Google started adding their own ads and sponsored content from or curated by Google to the premium tier.
Sometimes you even get legit NSFW ads that were supposedly curated, lol.
Literally google "have YouTube premium still get ads", you'll be surprised.

>>712712638
never seen this before and never will

>>712712824
>It's not gonna work once they roll it out for you
I just got the message yesterday, ublock origin still going strong

It's coming

Don't really use youtube anymore. I just look at what you guys make and its fine by me even if the quality vastly varies.

>playing video games

>>712711813 (OP)
I still have no ads on yt on I barely use it anymore because the platform is getting worse in all other regards, too.

>>712712240
You could just say "fuck" in the first 10 seconds

ublock + sponsorblock for pc and phone
smarttube beta for tv
yes sometimes it takes a day for shit to update but i'd sooner stop watching videos than deal with ads

Youtube/Google can suck my cock, eat my ass, lick my balls and drink my piss because I will never, ever watch ads. And that's me being extremely generous.

>>712712638
They already tried that and it took less than a day for ublock and brave to work around it.

>>712712868
it's actually significantly worse on tvs, pcs get some ads despite having premium, phones get more ads, including occasional nsfw stuff, tvs are straight up cooked, afaik, in some regions they get unskippable >30s ads on lower-tier premium
>pay for premium
>get ads
>money: stolen

>>712713070
Of course, but we'll have to prepare for the day when Jewtube inevitably falls, digital IDs will probably be their solution

>>712712503
yes? people can make a living off of ad revenue? are you a boomer or something?

>>712712240
I can only choose to have a small profit from them or not, and I can choose if I want ads playing during the video. There's a reason why those video essays are 8hrs long.

>>712711813 (OP)
The ublock+firefox still works pretty well on PC. Worst I've seen so far has been videos failing to load and I have to F5 once or twice. It's way worse for side loaded the youtube app on my phone. Constant issues with videos not loading or breaking during play. Really annoying.

We're in dire need of decentralized replacements for youtube. A single site shouldn't have this much power.
I'm using a fucking bilibili to find certain anime songs because they are wiped off youtube

I used to be fine with ads at first since it was usually only like once per video at the very start, maybe another one mid-way through it the video was particularly long. But over time, the ads got way too fucking frequent and intrusive. It's obnoxious as all fuck. I mean, look, I get that they need to make money, but this is fucking horrendous.

Also, nearly all Youtube ads are especially fucking shitty. I want whoever's responsible for Grammarly's ads to get a brain hemorrhage. Better Help is even worse. And a very large number of Youtube's ads are out-and-out blatant scams. There's zero fucking quality control.

>>712713343
The problem is that for consumers, having a single website for all your video needs is convenient. Having to have half a dozen different accounts on a bunch of different sites is a pain in the ass. This is why Youtube continues to endure despite its retarded practices, because people are too used to having a single place for all their videos.

>>712712638
I had this message last week
I ended up formatting my C: drive and installing W10 (I was testing 11 when I got it) and it's fine now with Edge + ubo

>>712711989
Reminder that they completely buttfucked all their videosharing features and the site has basically been a toilet since like 2016.
It's quite literally just a tool for out of touch jeets to defraud advertising clients by lying to them about how good their advertising is and try to brute force completely unpopular shit that nobody likes or cares about.

They're hedging their bets on beating Ublock devs in a war of attrition

>>712712240
No and even if a video is "not advertiser friendly" (Google is the advertiser) they'll still run ads on your shit and pocket all the money even if they are in a specific contract saying they owe you that money.

>>712712640
>use FreeTube
>it just werks

>>712712290
i've told people how to block ads on youtube on their phones but they just go "too much effort, can't be bothered"

>>712711989
How do you think they make money?

>>712713097
They've tried it like 10 times now, anyone that doesn't know what to do at this point (literally just wait for ublock to update) despite it being a recurring issue is the target for the OP anyways. Youtube knows they're not gonna win, so they're just going to abuse the people that can't seem to help themselves or use the mobile app and don't realize there's ways to handle it there too.

>>712713393
ads would be fine if they were just static images with no interactivity associated with them off to the side like some shitty bilboard. I get it, a lot of websites need to supplement income (not google though, fuck google). Too bad ads poisoned the well over 15 years ago with their cancerous behavior and were a potential legitimate security threat. So it's better off to just go scorched earth with them.

>>712711941
Literally every time I go on Twitch it's
>Click on Twitch stream
>IMMEDIATE 60 second unskippable advert
>Say "fuck this" and leave

>>712712454
>Due to restrictive project policy, the NewPipeTeam refuses to add platforms that they find offensive. This fork (BravePipe) will not be as restrictive. As long as the platforms work in the spirit of free speech, they could be integrated.

Are they evangelicals or extreme feminists?

>>712712640
Annoying but still better than hearing a fucking ad

>>712713734
You literally install one app, download an official Youtube APK from reputable mirror, and then patch it with the app
Takes like 5 minutes tops.

I've still never had any problems with Youtube. I don't do anything special other than use Brave as my browser of choice. I don't know if it's because of that or because I live in a third world country.

>>712713519
>>712713559
>>712713602
Edge is very good now
Doesn't have the slowness of Firefox and Brave, and still has Ubo support

>>712713842
Why bother with that? FF and ublock does the trick on mobile, too

You anons are using ublock origin right? Mine isnt working, i get an ad, refresh and it goes away, but there's still that short time of loud annoying ad before the refresh thats getting to me now.
Any filters that work?

>>712713557
Not Firefox. If you want to stand against the torrent of Chrome/ium / Electrum powered shit as the defacto browser engine, Mozilla is pretty much the only one holding the line. Use Firefox or something based on it, but if it goes under there's no serious FOSS cross platform browser with a capable engine under development. Also Firefox also lets you use uBlock Origin without having to use workarounds or bend the knee to ManifestV3 chromium bullshit, so its in your best interest anyway.

>>712712290
>>712713734
We need dumb, normie whales like this though
>If everyone uses adblockers... no one will

>>712713393
this. it's the last couple of years that it's gotten unbearable, it used to be fine up until 2023. ads used to be 5 seconds long, now it's a whole minute sometimes and then a few minutes later you get another one. combine this with the drop of quality in content and you gotta ask what's the point? might as well just doomscroll until I fall asleep. let them buttfuck the stupid site, it hasn't been the same anyway.

>>712713636

Naw man, you're looking at it all wrong. Google doesn't make money with ads but porn will make all the ad money.

>>712712371
>Unless you are using apple shit
they have ad blockers on apple devices

>>712713846
ads are typically targeted geographically (why would they sell you something you can't even buy). so yeah, good chance its down to your physical location.

>>712713917
If you have any other blockers running with UBO, disable them. It can cause interference. Also try clearing your browser cache or at the very least youtube cache and cookies.

>>712712638
you can literally close this pop up and nothing happens

>>712713982
Another Jew, but the only choice left.

>>712712638
i got this a few times last week then my adblock list updated and i never saw it again.

>>712713972
>ads used to be 5 seconds long
Aside from ones deliberately joking about how people are only willing to tolerate 5 second long ones.
No.
Actual concise ads have been dead for over a decade.

>>712713932
mozilla has burned me too many times in the last 10 years. stupid fucks bricking support for specific add-on functions and then constantly changing up their chrome file when I need to chance its appearance.

>>712714025
>why would they sell you something you can't even buy
I don't know anon? Why would youtube recommend me videos about some domestic hooohaa in murrica if I live in yurop?

>>712714068
Firefox isn't a proper choice in most real world scenarios anymore, unfortunately. Since the market share is tiny, web applications and especially video and audio conferencing is really broken on FF more often than not

I don't know how people tolerate ads at all, even one second of listening to an AI generated voice talking about AI generated mobile games makes me close the tab, you have to be genuinely retarded to think this is okay

>>712713932
I use Firefox for porn and hentai. The browser reminds me of jerking off too much. It would be a hassle trying to find a new porn browser and migrating to Firefox properly. My main browser os Vivaldi.

>>712714081
>Aside from ones deliberately joking about how people are only willing to tolerate 5 second long ones
Funny thing is one of those ads was what pushed me to use a blocker years ago. It said something to the effect of “you can’t skip this ad because it’s already over!”. Something about advertisers trying to get cute with the fact that they’re annoying really rustles my fucking jimmies.

>>712713896
Revanced is more convenient for watching Youtube on the go imo

>>712714193
That’s the worst part of youtube ads, 100% of them are dogshit and 90% of them are scams. How did this get past their quality control?

>>712714025
>If you have any other blockers running with UBO, disable them
That might have worked.
Not another blocker, but i had a "speed controller" extension for playback speed, i disabled it and so far no ads, thanks if this works.

>>712713343
Any potential alternative will just get infested with schizos and political shit.

>>712714298
>quality control

There was one?

>>712712774
nonsense

>>712712640
ah so that was why shit was slow yesterday. ublock origin seems to have gotten around it though, i don't have that happening today.

>>712714193
You should see what people voluntarily watch on Tiktok.

>>712714327
>schizos and political shit.
Nah, it will be infested with a small clique of irrelevant e-celebs jerking each others off. You can see it with russian alternatives, which is why they are fucking dead. There's no natural engagement.

Another way to try and stop ads if you get them on Twitch is to use a VPN and set yourself to a country that doesn't get ads.

>>712714380
Are you new to /v/? Most people are here just to hate on games that haven't even played.

>>712714380

>>712714281
I mean the worst shit is that nobody knows how to make actually GOOD advertisements anymore.
It's all this zero effort astroturfing shit.

>>712714081
I remember these infomercials playing on TV in the morning and at night. They lasted 10 minutes at least. Now the TV ads are short and really loud, there's 10x more of them.

>let me bank watch time and watch a few adds to build credits and be left alone for the length of a feature film
>let me manage my time and pause a long video to watch an add and up the meter but at a point in the video I think is a good pause not the shitty points youtube always pauses it
in trade I'll watch your adds without skips and won't complain

>>712711941
Haven't seen an ad on Twitch or YouTube in years. Lolpro version 1.9.3 still works on Twitch even though they got spooked into making version 2 by twitch beating it for 1 day then walking back the changes. I don't like version 2 because you have to setup your own proxy servers for it while version 1.9.3 still has multiple public poxies maintained.

>>712713750
by getting funding from the cia

>>712713803
>i could run an ad now and risk some viewers leaving but block pre rolls for an hour
>or i could not and risk new viewers leaving right away when they have to watch a pre roll

twitch hasn't generated a dollar in profit since amazon bought them, that's why they are so desperate for ad views. they could just trim the fat from their work force and instantly become profitable but they don't want to because they are stuck in this "2010s tech start up" mentality with gigantic creative, assistant and trust and safety teams where even the most basic entry level positions make $50k.

>>712714295
NewPipe is even better.

>>712713750
Anon, Google has been sued repeatedly for just straight up lying to advertisers about the actual metrics on their site and the reach their ads have.
It literally doesn't have to be as bad as it is.

>>712714305
Yeah, that's one fucky thing with UBO when it comes to youtube specifically. Seems if it doesn't have free reign on the page it will more often than not fail to manage things. So things like other adblockers, tracker blockers, cookie blockers, and I guess other stuff that might interact the the video need turned off so UBO can manage it all.

>>712713842
Or instead of questionably patching a proprietary application (which still tracks your shit) or something like Vanced, you could use Newpipe or one of the other open source client alternatives that avoid all that nonsense. There are forks with integrate sponsorblock and other shit too if you want it.

>>712713982
>>712714068
They're not perfect but they're a fuckload better than anything else. Besides, everyone sperging out about Mozilla even if they do the most innocuous shit to make money (ie their whiteboxed version of Mullvad's service, the surprisingly decent Relay etc) people freak the fuck out. They're going up against Google and other huge for profit companies and while they've done stupid shit before, people are unrealistic and freak out if they have shit like
>A completely optional sponsored thing on the homepage if you want it, and labeled. You can turn it off with one click
>less shitty telemetry than everyone else, FOSS, and easy to turn off
this one is particularly asinine in light of the complaints that people say that Mozilla made some UI change or whatever the fuck and should have known people wouldn't like it or didn't use X feature; of course they didn't magically know about it if you turned off the metrics and didnt take the time to write a comprehensive post about it in the proper place - theyt're not reading your mind

Its fine for people to use arkenfox or whatever prefab configured variant like Icecat or LibreWolf (though some, especially the latter actually make you more visible with kitchen sink fuckery settings wise by default), but all depend on Mozilla for the major engine development.

>>712714130
You mean outside of the Quantum changeover in the addon API that was...fuck a long time ago now?

>>712714267
You could use the Container Tabs (even the Temporary one if you want) function on Firefox to separate porn from non-porn? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

>all these people bargaining with "well if ads fall under these conditions i'd tolerate them"
No compromises. No half measures. No ads.

>>712714498
It would be great for the consumer, but that's why they won't do it. My immediate thought was along the lines of keeping a muted tab open just to let ads run in the background and build up the time while I'm out of the house or doing something else.

>>712711863
>There's ads on youtube?

>>712714413
I'm not, I play games and judge them if they look like shit, and if they are shit post release, I call it out like it is. You're the one making up bullshit scenarios about people not playing them. You can cope all you like but your games are still shit.

>>712714471
>I'll never watch YT shorts again.
why are you watching youtube shorts in the first place?

>>712712774
Or just stop loading YouTube for 15 minutes and come back and the ban is gone.

>>712714638
The only reason I use revanced is so that I can listen to my playlists that I can only access after logging to an account. Otherwise who in their right mind would use Youtube while being outside

>>712714659
Perfect is the enemy good, and it's not realistic for everyone to be doing shit for free or to sell merch.

>>712713803
it would be smarter psychologically to split it into multiple 30 second ads spread out rather than bombard you as soon as you click on someone but I guess they just can't help themselves.

I really wish pic related pushed heavy regulations related to ads.
They're not only everywhere on the internet to the point you can't even fucking use it properly without an adblocker, but the fact ads can run scripts is insanely dangerous and malware ridden ads are already a thing.

>>712714659
This is what's bizarre, how can you tolerate 15 seconds ads but not the 30 ones? Your brain is already filled with trash

>>712711813 (OP)
I legitimately haven't seen an ad in like 5 years now

I monitor Russian and Brazilian camwhores, engage in forums discussing them, I have 10+ year-old bookmarks and some of them still work. I have boorus bookmarked to steal the tags for StableDiffusion. I have torrents bookmarked for my increasingly long backlog of movies, shows, JAV and audiobooks. Jerking off is a serious hobby. I dare not use the same browser for anything SFW. Too risky.

>>712714823
Nigger it's not complicated, nobody'd bitch about getting a banner ad for some game coming out while you're watching gamer videos, nobody wants to be forced to watch AI slop screaming at them to worship the chinese communist party and download genshit or some crap for 5 fucking minutes to watch a 4 second video of the heavy from tf2 saying "Poot"

>>712712638
Even if they did find some magic way to ensure no one could get any adblocker to work, there's still loads of ways to download the vids themselves and just watch them as convenient MP4s from your downloads folder

They literally don't. They've been hemorrhaging money for ages.

>>712712638
Seeing how ruthless and relentless youtube is adblocks are fighting an uphill and losing battle. Seems like it's only a matter of time.

>>712712240
Lol your cute, a jew come and force ads on your video and take all revenue if you don't activate it yourself

I would be okay with a bit of ads but they have gotten so annoying, so long, so frequent, mid-sentence your content gets interrupted. Awful. Sometimes I watch youtube at work where there are 0 adblockers and the most insane part is when you watch like an hour long video and skip ahead 10 minutes you instantly get an ad. But if you skip ahead 10 minutes again it sees that as 10 minutes of content watched to you get an ad straight away again. Come on.
How do normies stomach this shit?

>>712714959
>an ad on a 4 seconds video
In what fantasy do you live in? Youtube could at least squeeze 10 ads in those 4 seconds.

Don't be evil*

>People unironically still see ads on YouTube
The only way I'd see ads is if I'm watching YouTube on my TV, and that's the reason I don't watch it on my TV anymore, in the first place.

>>712714959
You're saying?

>>712711941
Brave + ublock here, no ads on twitch.

>>712714984
I have no internet subscription at my place, so I download a bunch of videos whenever I connect to someone else's wifi like when visiting friends and family. I have hundreds of videos downloaded with PipePipe. Would recommend.
Also did you know 480p videos are the most data efficient?

Everybody here is an adblocker. Just because you don't see a problem doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

>>712711813 (OP)
Advertisement should be illegal and its current form should be handled with a death sentence towards anyone involved. Even the interns should be killed. We can talk about sparing relatives.

>>712711813 (OP)
I'm surprised youtube doesn't just ban creators taking in sponsors of their choice and instead dictates who they are allowed to use, or even assign them sponsors based on their advertiser list.

>>712711989
Anon, nobody who has the adblocker is going to turn it off specifically for youtube out of their own will. Google is just scrambling to make more money from technologically inept losers, they know adblock users are a lost cause and the only thing they can do with them is to combat the adblocks themselves, which they are also doing.

You know what gets me? Before I used to get ads for things that I would actually buy which at the time was a ton of video game ads and I didn't mind because it would remind me of a game I wanted to buy from time to time but now I rarely get them. It's usually something like fucking tampons that shouldn't be showing up for me at all.

I genuinely wonder why they're not wonder "L-ads" where the main screen gets resized and the border region shows you a bunch of ad shit. That stuff is much less intrusive and would piss people off much less, but I guess whoever pays for ads doesn't pay as much for that shit.

>>712714730
i use a script to have normal youtube video UI

>>712712290
My nephew is like that. Told him I could just remove the ads from his phone. After a while he just enables them again and goes all "No, I'm used to them, it feels wrong when they're gone". What the fuck, man.

>>712715601
Stockholm syndrome

They could start by making the ads even 1% relevant to me. Its all holidays (not had one since I was 12) cars (cant afford one, never will) insurance (free health care country and I have no dependants) mobile games (zero interest and never had the kind of fancy phone that can play them) and many other similar things.
Im a fat basement dwelling fuck, it should not be hard to shill food and nerd crap at me.

>>712715721
I unironically already did that. The effect is pretty negligible. For example, saying you like videogames means you get hit with every gambling advert as its all under the "gaming" tag. Youtube knows my age bracket, gender and country which seems to be 99% of what influences ads.

Compared to YT twitch doesn't have that same normie audience. Roughly 25-30% of YT viewers use ad blockers while twitch users easily block 80%. Which comes with the territory of the more tech savvy gamer/superuser audience.

>>712716297
You can have the pleasure of paying a little less and watch some ads! Great deal, huh?

Yes, what they all did was change the tiers so that the tier people had became the 'lite' version and in order to go 'ad free' which usually means 'less ads' you need to pay more per month, can sometimes be +25% the lite monthly fee to get back the tier of service you were already paying for

I noticed they tested it and its annoying as fuck, on mobile. Nothing in this world pisses me off as hard as Youtube ads, its the worst, loudest, and most annoying shit. I want to murder the people I see there, no joke.

Advertising itself is such a dead fucking concept, I've never wanted to buy consumable products based on ads, or remembered an ad enough to buy its product. Rather, I avoid products when an ad is shit. I can't relate with people in ads either, they have infinite time and money and seem unrealistically happy. The worst ads are those which pretend to be ironic or self-aware about being an ad (on Spotify especially).

>>712716209
Oh no. Anyway *torrent all their shit*

>>712717327
Ads are not there for you to buy their slop, it's for them to bombard your brain with useless information so that eventually all you only think in brands or politics

I've never understood the mindset of advertisement
>you interrupted my tv show with your product so now i hate you and won't buy it
>you interrupted my online video with your product so now i hate you and won't buy it
>you interrupted my music with your product so now i hate you and won't buy it
>you interrupted my porn with your product so now i hate you and won't buy it
It's such an obvious and easily relatable mindset, the fact that corporations run ads at all seems like something only an actual alien with no understanding of humans would do, you actively harm your business by running intrusive ads

>>712717396
so that eventually you only think in*

>>712712638
I see it every so often.
Then ublock updates and it goes away.
They try this every few months in order to trick retards into panicking

>>712717396
No that's just because the industry has completely broken down.

>>712717407
the mindset is that if it's being advertised then it must be good. like it's of big importance that you know about this great new product. if this doesn't make sense, it must be because you're not a normoroid cattle.

>>712717052
i don't think my iphone 7 has the ability to mine any appreciable amount of crypto so i'm not really worried

>>712717407
It's just about brand recognition. In the future, when you need a new power drill, you will remember some brand from some ad years ago and will likely look that up first.

>>712717407
>I've never understood the mindset of advertisement
>You make stuff people look at
>I make stuff people use
>I pay you to show people my thing
The problem comes in now where nobody makes anything people want to watch
And Nobody's making anything they actually expect anyone to use.
Both are scammers trying to steal from you.

>>712717407
>>712717660
This. You think you're above the propaganda and will just reject every single brand you saw in an ad in a deliberate act of revenge, but in reality when you're faced with buying a product outside of your field of expertise, you will naturally gravitate to brands you subconscious recognizes.

>>712711989
This is 100% fine
People who are using adblockers are going to keep using adblockers. People that are too retarded to use adblockers, will keep being too retarded to use adblockers. Basically, you milk extra money from the cattle and accept the fact that adblocker chads are never going to give you any money.
It's kinda like what nintendo did with their retarded switch 2 prices, they already know that they're going to get guaranteed money from their cultist fanbase, so why not increase that profit?

>>712711863
Of course there aint, Next thing you'll be telling me is there are sponsorship segments in the videos.

>>712717407
most people are simply not spiteful enough to bother
ultimately, they know the product exists at all and thus are more likely to buy it
for common stuff like soda it's just a matter of keeping it relevant in people's heads, and maybe getting them to think
>actually i kinda want a root beer, i might pick some up next time i'm at the store
or at the least
>i think i do prefer barqs over a&w
leading to a potentially subconscious (or conscious) choice next time you buy root beer
but for the lesser known (or more expensive) products, it's more like
>do you have [problem]
>no, not right now
>well here is [solution] in the form of [product]
>alright, well that's now catalogued in my brain whether i like it or not
fast forward
>shit, now i've got [problem]
>i'm gonna go buy [product]
this is marketing 101 and like it or not, it works

Yeah, but the fact that it can happen at all is worrying. How long will that keep working? At what point will Google decide that you can't use Youtube at all unless you're logged in? It's a free to make and have an account after all, so the average user won't mind.

Top kek, Youtube has never been profitable. But then 90% of the content on there is uploaded without copyright holder permission anyway, so it's bit rich of them to clamp down on adblockers to prevent "stealing" when "stealing" is the only reason anyone visits the site.

why did youtube start trying to clamp down on ad blockers the past year or so? is it the change of management?

Speaking about ads, I'm more curious how did the bait & switch ads worked.

It will only be for stuff they own the rights to fully. Anything else would be a landmine of violations.

>>712718371
Similar to how credit card companies cracked down on paying for NSFW artists and companies like Nintendo have been more active against emulation: there's a general movement of trying to wrestle control of the internet from the users and muzzle it under only what big corporations want. Think of it as the capitalistic version of what China does with how they regulate their web.
If it wasn't so profitable, you can bet your ass videogaming companies would ignore fair use laws and start striking vidya videos left and right like SEGA in 2012. Nintendo is one step away from being the first to do it.

It's actually a violation of Google's employment contract to refer to anything as a whitelist or blacklist.
Just like how you're not allowed to call cleanup operations in Unreal Engine "Nuking".

Doesn't matter, the uploader still gets paided.

Anyone else get ads that are literally hardcore porn images put through an AI to barely look like soemthing else? What's advertised with that is never porn but they put thta there to intice. Foul shit.

>>712718609
Well no, AI jeets have been laundering stolen credit cards through patreon.

and THIS is mostly due to internal corporate politics and bickering of proving your worth to X management higher up in charge (who reports to shareholders), it's why the UI also changes every 3 years or so on most sites; it's because the UX lead is justifying their payroll and playing internal company games.

Right now because debt is a little more expensive, we're in the money is getting squeezed cycle and adblockers are currently on the corporate agenda. Basically roll a d20 on whatever excuse any corporate entity wants to use for failure to pin it on users/market conditions, I'm surprised it took this long for youtube to crack down given that twitch.tv has already done a decent job

>>712718045

>laugh in uBlock Origin

I wouldn't use YT at all if I couldn't, I see people complaining all the time about ads and having their lectures being constantly interrupted by completely unrelated shit or worse, 15m long fragments they need to manually skip.

>b-b-but what about your favourite channels! You want them to close from lack of income?!

Back in my days, people would upload hobby stuff for the sake of it, to share with others, to participate in something greater. If you are doing this for money, it's your problem, not mine.

>b-b-but servers does not work for free!

Don't care, you got well past the point where ads became unbearable. It's your greed that forced my hand.

Youtube has always hemorrhaged money, maybe now it's reaching the point where they can't just roll with the losses any more.

>>712719883
Twitch tries to get around usual adblocking by intentionally sending you the wrong data.

>>712719537
Because Indians are just as amoral and Chinese but lack their intelligence and planning, to Chinese seller it's important to make client satisfied and give him what he wants (even if it's illegal) because his priority is to squeeze you out of money, while happy customer will give him more money in the future. Think of all those AliExpress guys who will make bootleg copies of anime figures and such, mess up order and give you wrong characters but throw bunch of extra in attempt to make you ignore that because at the end of the day, he cares about your money. Indian seller in same situation will try to scam you because while he wants your money, he also lacks planning skills and overall intelligence required to predict outcome in long scale. Plus, he openly hates you, is disgusted by you and think of himself as much better - Chinese guy either don't care or is smart enough not to tell you straight to your face.

Throw in deeply rooted caste system and you get recipe for disaster. Least to say that when Indians are learning English, they often translate "caste" as "race". Those fuckers honestly believe that different castes are different races of human - with them at the top.

Advertisements have never made me want to buy anything.
When I see an ad, I will deliberately go out of my way to never use anything made by that company.
I will steal, borrow, or even buy used simply to deny you a sale.
Fuck advertisers, niggers, jannies, and jews.

>>712711989
It's a really small percentage of users who block ads last I heard, but Google can't stand the thought of missing out on a few pennies and would rather waste all this time and money spiting ad blocker devs than improving YouTube. Or making ads non-shit. Or doing anything productive.

Ads didn't used to be so bad back in the day, sites just stuck an image somewhere in the sidebar. Then pop-ups became a thing, ads started tracking you, then most websites just stopped giving a shit and just let them do whatever resulting in a lot of shady bullshit happening. I remember getting getting at least two of those fake police browser hijacks claiming you were caught doing something illegal and had to pay some cash. That might not be possible anymore but it sure as hell made me cynical. These people think I'll ever stop blocking ads? Eat my ass.

>watching something on youtube (don't remember what it was)

the problem with ads is they exist just to sell you something. the corpos couldn't care less if their product helps you or not.

Youtube could tell Youtubers to stick their whole fist up their own ass, they'll complain a little but they'll do it eagerly nonetheless.

Video games?

Why do companies have to be such shit dicks over ads?

>show sleek, minimally intrusive banner for maybe 10 seconds that disappears when ad time is over
I think a lot of the problem is how garish looking a lot of the old banner ads used to look with the flashing free iPod shit linking you to scam websites. If a reputable company like Ford or Toyota made a sleek looking, honest banner that eventually disappears after a few seconds I think that people will just accept the ad and move on. But trying to force 30 second full screen ads are just too annoying but they keep forcing it. Why don’t these fucktards just experiment with new types of ads.

>/v/ will talk about ads and ad blocking over video games

>>712721038
there's no such thing as enough profits for a corporation, the line has to always go up, 100% of people watch ads just means you need to double the ads to double the profits., than we can discuss adding even more ads for the shareholders next quarter.

They are just jews but dumber, which is why every feeble attempt to stop adblockers has been a failure so far.

I have this thing, that yt videos only play up to one minute and then just stop. the only solution is to allow google on noscript. anyone knows what's up with that?

Are there any good Adblockers for my phone? I like listening to videos any time I’m driving but then YouTube will hit me with an unironic 5 minute ad that I either have to listen to or skip in the middle of driving and it drives (heh) me insane

let me guess, faggots here think adblock is non-ethical just like piracy? if You kill Yourself right now You will not have to watch a single ad

Whether it's feds or other bad agents uploading child porn is irrelevant.

don't tell youtube

>>712713750
not from ads. it's kind of the worst kept secret in tech right now that internet ads don't do a thing for the companies that buy them because everyone just ignores them.

>>712720130
My crack theory is that the devs at youtube are also completely shocked at this bullshit and collectively sabotage the antiadblocking measures in any way they can, maybe also leaking the changelog to adblock providers too.
Any other company worth their dollars would have killed adblockers years ago, and google is a tech giant. This has to be a humanitarian inside job at this point

nah vanced got sued its too much of a hassle just use revanced

>>712720745
A lot of them have developed parasocial relationships with the creators that they watch so they intentionally don't use adblockers in order to "support" them as if these creators would go out of business and starve if their viewers didn't watch ads

>>712720646
just use an apk file

3, You fucking retard
USE THE FUCKING YT VANCED MANAGER

Despite the niggercattle being a majority, too many people depend on adblocks to use Youtube. If there's an actual effort to move away from it, they could risk losing the decisive monopoly they have now

>>712721989
Every time I click on a youtube video I immediately press 1 to skip ahead a bit because they always have some gay ass boring intro that takes forever to get through and does nothing but waste time and pad out the video

>>712720745
you're giving them too much credit. I don't think they're smart enough

>>712721483
I thought the blundertails were this site's darling game (along with the gachas the chinese pay to keep threads about up)

>>712711863
we shouldn't get too cocky though because this might be the last year we're able to block ads on youtube.

>solving it is on the website owner,
laws are the government's problem. forcing people to scan absolutely everything with the threat of making them liable for what others do is insane
(((internet filters))) are cancer that strangle independent website owners to the benefit of megacorporations for whom the expense of implementing one is less than a blip on the radar

>>712721193
>the cheap bacon is fine
not really, the branded stuff just isn't much better. It's all water injected shit that shrivels to a third of the size.
You get the good stuff from the butcher.

>>712723454
they don't give two shits about how scammy and fake they are, only that YT isn't hit with lawsuits
but of course if you upload anything that displeases their advertiser overlords you get demonetized :^)

the credit card kikes won't shut down their friends, which is why pornhub and other kike-controlled outlets are still online
meanwhile animu and eroge, despite being benign drawings, are getting shut down left and right

>>712724776
Isn't pornhub forced to use crypto?

>>712716957
>Decide to risk ads since I'm not actively watching the screen, might as well stomach 15 seconds every now and then
????
>They actively hate people who don't mind ads.
But WHY don't you mind ads?

no

This; if they somehow manage to completely block ad blockers, I'll use something like JDownloader to queue videos to download and I still won't watch ads. I'll just have to wait a bit to watch the videos.

>>712721243
As always, phonefags ruined everything.
A PC can show a legible banner without being particularly intrusive.
A phone can't. And most of the ad watching peasants are primarily phonefags

It's because we are actually in end stage capitalism now, which has manifested itself into a nasty form of corpofascism. Where will it go from here?

Phone in my pocket, using earbuds while working. I don't mind a few seconds of ads here and there since I focus on working instead of the video and they might, you know, actually tell me about upcoming products, events or campaigns that I might be interested in. The problem is not the concept of advertisement, but rather the fact that modern companies make them too long and annoying while the algorithm fails to identify my interests.
5-10 seconds tops, in-and-out with the info, let me look up the product if it sounds interesting and we're good.

>>712726021
ublock origin already can't block twitch ads alone, and even alternatives have a hard time with twitch ads.

So again, don't get too cocky or you might jinx us.
