Why? This is weird. Why not enforce a full 30 second delay or some length corresponding to the length of the ad? That would be a sure way to make people who can't circumvent the block turn off the ad blocker. That or they'd just do something other than watch youtube, which is also possible I suppose.
More than happy to wait
Haven't experienced that so far (but that's probably because I don't log into my YouTube account anymore and mostly use private browsing), but I imagine that's something that adblockers will eventually be able to block?
How many of you use YouTube on the actual website, and not just an embedded video on another site?
I do, on desktop anyway
Funny, because my ad-blocked vids load just fine in Safari
Does this apply to Freetube, Invidious and other yt mirrors?
What's that federated video service that carries a bunch of YouTube videos?
Peertube, but it’s not great yet. I’ve not tried to use it for a few years, so maybe it’s gotten better.
Tee hee. I don't use UserTuber.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
