• 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.

Will that fix their horrible site and mobile app that constatntly breaks on me? I'm not going to pay a corporation that treats users and creators like shit and can't even make a good way to interact with the service with all that money. If they prpvided a fantastic service and were pro-consumer and pro-creator then I totally would. But they're the opposite of that.

    I have no problems with either. 🤷‍♂️ The site and all of their apps work fine.
