Considering I can't get Invidious to serve me a video in a higher res than 480p, no thanks.
Comment on YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete

And that’s when I moved to Invidious and haven’t looked back

Those ads do look good in 1080p!

What makes you think they won’t block them or force ads to them as well?
You do know that Invidious is still YouTube, right?

It’s an open source front end to youtube, yes. So no ads on the sidebar, no bullshit about logging in, no garbage algorithm to be harassed by.
And no commercials yet. If YT streams the ads and invidious doesn’t block them and adblocker doesn’t block them and PiHole doesn’t block them, I will not watch them.
Death to Advertisement.

I don’t think YouTube cares if you refuses to watch their videos on another platform or not.
They probably prefer if you didn’t. You only cost them money with no revenue whatsoever.

They are still a metric they can peddle to their advertisers to show “how many people see this ad in a month.”

I’ll download it so I can skip the bullshit if it comes down to it.
