Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.
When I have to visit it sans adblocker it is like a dumpster fire.
Yeah, if Google ever effectively blocks/bypasses my ad blocker, I’ll stop watching. They charge too much for premium for how much I watch, and I’d rather go without than deal with all those ads.
the only way they do is, do what twitch does, but its prohibitively expensive to add the AD to the video itself.
I block ads on Twitch too.
