We first get adverts. And gee-golly-whillikers, they're also malware vendors and other terribvle horrible nogood crap you just don't want. And exploits. So yeah, you block ads with Ublock Origin. Some shit site gets the idea to "block adblock". Detects a few common ones. But disabling javascript almost always works. But annoying. So http://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/#filterlist http://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/#filterlist is created. And it "anti-block adblock" is here. And works well. By the time the chumps make "anti-anti-block adblock", we'll neuter that as well. The endgame is something terrible like a WebAssembly that does forced downloads to get the content you want all in a VM like thing. That's what Widevine is already doing, kind of. Im just surprised that more for-profit news/media companies aren't doing exactly that, since now you have to pop off the payload in a container and try to detect what an ad is and isnt. As an aside: If you're running Firefox, download Sponsorblock. It skips over the shit in-video adverts on Youtube with "a message from our sponsor". Oh, and you dont get this even IF you pay youtube.
