  Laughs in… Supporting creators by supporting them in other ways than watching ads on their videos, right? Right???

    Yes, such as Patreon. Less hassle with more substance.

      Sweet, for sure, I have no issue with that.

      The people complaining about ads who don’t support creators in other ways is what bothers me.

        I don’t know man, I loved YouTube back in the days when people made videos for shits and giggles. No one expected money from that.

  There are ways to completely neutralize ublock power: put ads on the same server, as content + randomise div identificators

    Yeah, they could put the ads in the same stream but it would be too costly or inflexible. Ads have to be targeted to the specific market or even user so that would kill their advantage and turn them into generic TV ads.

      If you don’t have to reencode but only concatenate the streams it can be done for your request specifically because it’s not meaningfully more expensive than just serving the content

        What stops you with skipping past this part of the stream? It would be more effective on livestreams, not videos

      Yandex did that in their products. It’s doable.
