YouTube has found a new way to bypass ad blockers by integrating ads directly into video content via "server-side ad insertion," complicating the detection and blocking of ads. How will ad blockers respond?

    Piracy, cable TV, cord cutting.

    You’re throwing a lot of words together without making any argument.

    YT is winning the battle against blockers as evidenced by the extreme vitriol toward them here right now.

    YT are winning at business: they are massively successful.

    YT are winning competitively. Just listen to the cries of monopoly around here. That’s how strong YT are.

    YT won my business by making something I use every day and mostly can’t find a substitute for.

    What are they losing again? They’re not even losing the ad blocker users, who clearly and obviously depend greatly on YT or they wouldn’t be so mad that their free ride is over.

    Explain to me again how someone who writes an ad blocker gives you the idea that YT is supposed to be creating an egalitarian world? That part made no sense.

      Nah, I’m good.

      I think an athiest would have a better chance trying to deconvert a Catholic Bishop than I’d have getting you up to speed.
