Anyone else see that the embed API seems to get out of Ads scott-free? I was banned from watching videos on youtube.com proper for a bit (they’ve since given up // uBlockOrigin improved), but on my website that embeds arbitrary videos there’s never any ads presented, even with blockers disabled.
Honestly it’s a bit of a bummer - I’d like for the original content creators I’m “proxying” to have the potential to be compensated.
- normaldist 3y agoAdvertisers don't like appearing on random webpages.
- explaininjs 3y agoSo is there anything to stop an adblocker from simply redirecting you to a proxy site with an embed?
- pingpongchef 3y agoA significant number of videos are disabled from embedded play
- explaininjs 3y agoPerhaps, but I've yet to encounter one.
