- crop_rotation 3y agoOne way would be to require logins and then timeout accounts that behave abnormally wrt ads. Given that WASM will be mainstream soon, it will be hard to monkey patch the code to prevent all this.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoYoutube can tell if an ad is blocked. They can then refuse to serve the video. Instead replacing it with an image that says "please turn off your adblocker" or the like.
- spacebanana7 3y agoI imagine they’d prevent the page from rendering and display a warning when an Adblocker is detected. Similar to what some publishers currently do.
