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.

Even if it becomes impossible to block the ads out I will cover my ears, close my eyes and shout 'lalala' to avoid them.
If it becomes impossible to block ads I'm blocking the site, because at that point it's unbearable
An appropriate response to this nonsense.
