Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers
towerful@programming.dev 2 months agoAs a recent YT premium-tryer, it’s amazing how many ads they put in that aren’t obviously adverts.
Not sure I’ll keep YT premium beyond the free trial, until I find more decent content producers. Even then, it’s skipping their paid promotions.
So it’s like paying for a streaming platform to not get ads… But still getting ads

I agree… however, that is an issue with the content creators relying on using content promotions. I have noticed when skipping ahead in videos that it usually indicates in the progress bar where the promotion ends. If the content producers utilized other ways to contribute and I liked them enough, then I’d do that. YouTube now has a subscriber only feature that should help with this. There are also extensions that are supposed to block sponsors too. I don’t think YouTube has implemented any functions to make blocking sponsored ads more difficult, especially for paying users… who knows though.
