YouTube looks to be testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers
9to5google.com
  • YouTube is testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers, integrating ads directly into videos to make them indistinguishable from the main content.
  • This new method complicates ad blocking, including tools like SponsorBlock, which now face challenges in accurately identifying and skipping sponsored segments.
  • The feature is currently in testing and not widely rolled out, with YouTube encouraging users to subscribe to YouTube Premium for an ad-free experience.

Then clearly it's not a smart choice to make videos and have them uploaded to a scummy place like YouTube.

Their issues are not my problem. I have my own stresses at work, you don't see me bitching about it to strangers online.

Don't like your job or the terms your forced to adhere too, quit.

So... because you had a bad they should not even attempt to pursue their dreams and make art/"art"?

Also... I really hope your job is a perfect wonderland with no ethical or moral complications. Otherwise, it is your fault for working there instead of somewhere else, obviously.

We live in a late stage capitalistic hellscape and still snipe each other constantly. Everybody would rather fuck over everyone else than show any degree of solidarity.

Not once did I say they shouldn't persue anything...if I'm presented with a contract from work which I don't agree with,I'm looking for a new job...

It would be my fault for staying somewhere that is objectively bad for me...yes..it's not your problem, it's mine..

Why is it the customers responsibility to fix the companies problem for the employees...explain.
