Nice! Still don’t sub
YouTube says it will show fewer mid-roll ads that it thinks will interrupt sentences or action sequences, and more at “natural break points” like pauses or transitions.

irrelevant if you have firefox+ublock origin

Exactly that. It has been ages since I have seen YT ad, and this was only due to a YT link I accidentally clicked on my mobile.

protip: firefox and ublock origin combo also works on android!

Hate to be this guy, but in theory Youtube would be super aggressive towards both Firefox users(anti competition) and uBlock Origin users( to raise their revenue and to push for YouTube premium).
I hope uBlock Origin keep working forever, but I think at at some point YouTube will get more aggressive till adblock users be unable to use Youtube.

I am absolutely certain at some point they will give us a well encrypted multiple key change per minute mpeg stream At real time bit rates only. I think that’s their final form. It’s also possible they could just run the commercials on 2/3 of the screen while our streams are running.
Our final form will be to use desktop apps and calm skip to take the commercials out of the stream or block them on the picture and picture page and host our own preferred viewership on our own media servers for our own consumption. Or maybe a torrenting community springs up around this and YouTube content is now just torrented.

When ever they finally manage to prevent the use of adblockers I’ll just buy premium and won’t even be mad. The only reason I’m not already paying is that adblocking is so easy. Considering how much I use YouTube (and how long I have used it for) it’s easily worth every dollar.
