So is it over? 😭
Maybe we could use some kind of AI filter to remove ads from the videostream? Like, analyzing the audio spectrum and blocking segments with very sudden changes audio-embedding vectors?
I wonder if this is related to youtube being completely useless with firefox and ublock origin, sponsor block. It plays the ads just fine (and some of these ads are an hour long) but when it gets to the end it just stops.
