    It’s funny. Before this crackdown none of my co-workers used adblockers. To install an add-on was too much hassle. They just watched the ads.

    Now suddenly they became interested after hearing about them again, and almost all are running Firefox with ublock origin now.

    YouTube should have just kept quiet, I don’t believe they are better off now more than before.

      If Twitch taught us anything, this is just the beginning.

          Made it more difficult to block ads than YouTube’s pathetic attempt.

            I was really surprised (and annoyed) to see some ads on Twitch yesterday.

              Straight up the first ads I’ve seen in a long time were on twitch.

              Then of course the first ad I see was for Narcan followed by an ad for Smirnoff.

              God I fucking hate ads

            Ads need to be clearly identifiable as such here.

          Twitch embeds ads directly into the stream now. They’re next to impossible to block now, though I’ve heard some people say it’s still possible.

              I will have to try that. My way of blocking twitch ads is using my vpn. But it disconnects me from chat for a few seconds, when an ad should appear.

      Great, let the Streisand effect bite Google in the bum.
