Client side ads clearly don't work. It's a matter of time until YouTube DRMs everything or puts the ads in the video stream itself like Twitch.

- BlueTemplar 3y agoIt's funny, people are talking about YouTube, but for me it's the opposite : uMatrix stopped working for YouTube ads years ago, meanwhile I hadn't seen Twitch ads for years. Then coming back to Twitch a few days ago, I started seeing Twitch ads again - I wonder what changed ??
- kjkjadksj 3y agoThen you scrub forward like tivo
- prirun 3y agoBut they can't send me different ads than you if they put the ads in the video stream, ie, it'll screw up their targeting I think.
- phantomathkg 3y agoDynamic ad insertion means that the ad will be stitch to the video dynamically. For the same piece of content you and I request, the ad being shown to you and me could be drastically different. Google IMA SDK can do that. https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/6147120?hl=en https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/6147120?hl=en
- cedws 3y agoVideo stream doesn't have to be static.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoOn Twitch it still blocks the ads, you just have to wait until they finish streaming. Waiting beats being mind raped by ads so it's still a great experience.
- LightHugger 3y agotry TTV LOL Pro, it uses proxies to display the stream during the ad play so you don't even get interrupted.
