i don't even have an ad blocker to block ads i have one to block the 4 dozen trackers on every fucking website

>>54930517
brave?

>>54930501
Holy fuck, it's over.

Brave browser still works just great with youtube.

>inb4 omg that browser is ran by Tunisian crime syndicate it's holy like Swiss cheese and not secure omfg feds are tracking you
Idk, I'm just watching YouTube with no ads

>>54930501
Still works for me on Firefox. There is literally no way for the website to tell if you're blocking ads or not. It only blocks you if you're using Chrome.

>>54930745
the absolute state of cucked jewgle users

>>54930527
Brave works fine, you can set the intensity of the shield manually but by default it does like 90% of websites in terms of blocking tracking, cookies, ads...
I don't know how people watch all the ads on youtube it's literally 20% of the content by length.

>>54930501
once they added commercials it was over. youtube was destined then to become as bad as tv with commercials. they'll ease into it. first they were skippable

No idea what you are talking about, I use Brave and works fine.

>>54930501
On mobile right now but newpipe still works perfectly. Youtube will never force me to watch an ad

>try watching youtube without adblocker
>FIVE (5) ads before video
>Midroll ads after just a few minutes
I refuse to believe anyone puts up with this shit

>>54930501
doesn't happen on mullvad browser

>>54930501
that's impossible kek

>stuck watching 5 ads
>next part of the video is the Youtuber shilling his sponsored ad

>>54932134
hey thats life

>>54930501
>we
You're not getting shit, goy

>>54930859
Fucking disgraceful.

>>54930501
>all content is clickbait, reaction videos, or 10 minute ads in disguise that have all been edited according to big brother's standards
>already 2-3 ads before every video with another 3 sprinkled across a ten minute video
I think Ill just stop watching

>>54932425
or you could install sponsorblock and adblock and remove all of that?

>>54932425
use youtube-dl and watch them locally on your media player of choice

>>54932425
>>54930859
>>54930824
These
I love the bushcraft doomsday prepper videos that have 3 ads for some faggot movie or amazon prime though. The whole audience is weekend warrior types and the ads just confirm it for me

>>54930527
>brave
Nah... I'm fine without 32 push notifications an hour.

>>54932425
>>all content is clickbait, reaction videos, or 10 minute ads in disguise that have all been edited according to big brother's standards

Interestingly, given youtubes rather stringent criteria to monetise your content, there are blatant scam ecommerce sites getting top ad platform space even though just the prices they jam in your face right away should encourage someone to check more; e.g. $3 for a 15 piece knife block set, $4 for an air fryer, $4 for a stand mixer. All needs to be bought within the next 7 minutes + countdown timer

I actually did the background digger for YouTube on the umbrella company, which known to run multiple versions of the sites, and reported it.

Now some other one has just appeared with a very similar spectrum of prices and products called Tuma or Tyma or something
>live like a billionaire

There is some github repository app you get that bypasses all the ads and let's you listen none stop I think on android but I can't remember the name. It's not available through the playstore.

>>54930859
>10 second clip
>15 second ad
>1 minute ad plays at the end

What adblocker do you guys use for mobile?

>>54932425
I want to stop watching, but I am addicted to it, so I don't really want to stop
I do it everyday, then curse myself for having done it
I'm watching videos right now in fact

>>54930501
>see ad
>click it so that that the advertiser pays for that click/google thinks there is more ad traffic and charges more for ads in the future
>buy nothing

the ublock origin extension is pretty tight

>>54932617
Brave

>>54930859
It's like that on mobile. Is there a way to block this shit on phones??

>>54930501
>ads allow youtube to stay free

Lol. Enjoy your paycuts

>>54930501
Both Brave and Chrome with ABP work just fine. OP is a massive faggot.

>>54930501
not sure it's time to long

>>54930745
Same, AdBlock+Firefox, not had this message.

>>54932718
>click it so that that the advertiser pays for that click/google thinks there is more ad traffic and charges more for ads in the future
>buy nothing
imagine if a browser or extension with a lot of users started doing this automatically whenever an ad would be displayed
would completely own the companies that pay for advertisements as their click rate to sales ratio would plummet

>>54930501
Alternatively...

>>54932831
youtube revanced. enjoy

>>54930501
>I'm still watching youtube
>ads are still blocked
yeah I don't think so.

>>54932153
That's what all the people say.

>>54933452
That exists already

>>54933480
why are you keeping it a secret?

>>54932831
Newpipe on Android. Not sure about iPhone.

>>54930501
>not having an extra $15 lying around every month to never see an ad again
the absolute state of poorfags

>>54933631
C U C K ME HARDER DADDY OH YES PLEASE

>>54933499
AdNausam extension on Firefox does this. It just spams every single ad and tracker on pages while also blocking them for you.

>>54933631
15 USD for what? YT Premium?
Now consider:
-Google are jewish
-All the other services you use

>>54933631
It's not about the money, it's about sending a message. But also fuck subscription fees, they sneakily add up to real money if you don't nip that shit in the bud.

My bliggity batties staying fatty and when I get rich I’ve have your bitch in my caddy calling me daddy

>>54933662
>pay 15 bucks a month so you can play music youtubes while turning off your screen
holy cucked

>>54930501
>thinks ads playing to empty chairs will bring in revenue
typical bizfaggot behavior

>>54932831
Open it on your browser you fucking retard

>>54930745
Of course sites can find out if you are using a blocker - but good ad-blockers block these detection scripts as well. So if they change something there, they have to adjust. Means basically sometimes a detection gets through.

>>54933662
I actually have a family premium plan, but have the subscription done in Turkey via VPN. Costs like 3 EUR a month for 5 people. My kids have iPads, so can’t really block anything there in a good way. Ok for me. Viewing works without a VPN.

>>54932607
>Nah... I'm fine without 32 push notifications an hour.
huh, I use Brave and I don't get any of that.

>>54933631
Im not paying them for all the shitty worthless clickbait content theyre trying to push on me every time I visit home page. they should be paying me for sifting through all the algo bullshit. most of the content I watch regularly are podcasts anyway and I cant watch those for free without ads on spotify

>>54930859
The NPC meme is true

>>54935322
tfw too lazy to sideload youtube alt app on android tv

>>54935086
It does if you manually activate the option to get ads in exchange for BAT. But people who hate Brave are just Firefox trannies upset that Brendan Eich didn't just roll into a ball and die after they got him cancelled from Mozilla.
You can always tell its a Firefox tranny FUDding Brave because they use the same technically incorrect lies that give them some sort of excuse when caught.
>oh I don't know what happened then, must have activated it by mystake
and such.

>>54933455
Thank you anon you made my day.

>>54930501
Thoughts on my new investment strategy? i get a suicide stack on PAPA and then try to hold up without any money for as long as it needs for it to pump. What do you think anon?

>>54930501
How to reck it?
Uploading heavy videos to increaae storage price?

adblock plus still works on chrome...

>>54932831
brave mobile browser

>>54932831
Newpipe for youtube. Brave mobile browser also blocks ads.

I pay for YouTube premium just to avoid the ads already, I listen to creepypasta and asmr too often to not pay for it

>>54935722
kys glownigger shill. 1 ruppee up your asshole and back on the sidewalk.

>>54930501
You don't. Brave devs (or devs of other ad blockers) are constantly finding workarounds. They're done.

>>54930501
I think google is testing various blocking techniques across the board. I am seeing a noticeable RPM increase with adsense too

>>54930859
this is why I cant watch youtube on console/ phone apps, it runs so many ads it's like it's got fucking malware and I am never paying them a cent. when I was sick I had to use PS5 youtube for 3 days and it was psychosis inducing

>>54936435
you know you can block ads on router level? if youre using wireless just go into your router settings and either set up a blocklist of ad addresses or use an ad-blocking dns. even on a ps5 there's no excuse to watch ads.

>>54934973

This.

>>54930501
>youtube still isn't profitable
>they fucked the comment section layout up so much I can't even tell who's talking to who
How is 4chan or any other image board still have a better layout then these multi billion dollar tossers?

>two ads play at the start. The first, unskippable.
>video starts and 10 seconds in a banner ad appears. Close it.
>1 minute in another two ads play. When they finish, the videos buffers perpetually.
>Sigh to myself and refresh the page.
>the video starts from the very beginning and two ads play. The first unskippable.
>skip to the one minute mark to watch from where I left off. Turns out it’s where the creators shills their video sponsor for the next 3 minutes.
>skip to the 4 minute mark. Two more ads play.
>video finally ends. One more ad plays after the video finished.
Ahh, the YouTube experience.

how does twitch do it?

>>54936635
4chan does not hire thousands of coders that need to make themselves look important to keep their overpaid job. companies like google hire 10 trannies to code one button

>>54936735
by being a live stream focused platform and placing the ad stream in the normal stream without any obvious blockables like 3rd party domains or overlays. kinda like tv commercial breaks

Isn't there just a constant arms race between adblockers and sites about this? Give it like two weeks and YouTube won't be able to detect them anymore

>>54933439
Use ublock origin

Chainlink will be used in the future to verify that you didn't use an adblocker and watched the ad.

Imagine being such a poor fag you don't have YouTube Premium. Couldn't be me.

>>54936975
Unironically this. Chainlink will force us to watch YouTube ads. Sergey was evil we knew it all along.

>>54932569
Post address hobosexual. I want to fight you.

>>54935816
This. Brave and BAT are inevitable. Jewgle is finished
