Is this extension even relevant? I haven't ever seen those on youtube. uBlock + pihole do the job.
Smart TV, on the other hand, manages to bypass my pihole (as if adds were burned into the vid), that's where I need to figure something out.
- wmf 7y agoThis isn't about the ads that are inserted by YouTube. This is trying to block parts of the main video that are ads.
- rinchik 7y ago"parts of the main video that are ads" - well, i'm not sure what those are. Is it something that happens when they record a program from a TV and then upload that video to youtube without removing TV ads?
- notatoad 7y agoit's the sort of thing that happens at 4:10 in this video: https://youtu.be/jxICCEoiq74?t=240 https://youtu.be/jxICCEoiq74?t=240
- archie2 7y agoSome YouTubers do ad reads during their videos from sponsors.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoImagine a Youtube video where the host takes a break to read off an advertisement and that you'll get a 10% discount if you use their code during the checkout process. And then they resume with their content. They often will pre-record these segments with a consistent "now with a quick word about our sponsors" jingle which can be statically detected and removed from the video.
- Mirioron 7y agoThey are sponsor segments like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8apEJ5Zt2s&t=33s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8apEJ5Zt2s&t=33s
- input_sh 7y ago"This video is sponsored by X. Get N% off by going to example.com/mychannelname or use the code mychannelname at checkout."
- faissaloo 7y agoIt means things like sponsor spots where the YouTuber starts talking about some random mobile game or VPN provider you can tell they don't really care about
- rinchik 7y agoGot it! Thank you all for clarification, my comment is irrelevant then.
