- PittleyDunkin 2y agoAt some point they'll just embed into the video stream. TBH I had assumed they were already doing this. EDIT: Still, point taken. I'll try to figure out how to install this on my home router—I don't ever watch youtube from my browser.
- dimator 2y agoThere's a different extension to auto skip the (community defined) ad segments in videos. There will always be a way.
- luma 2y agoThey have, and for that we have SponsorBlock https://sponsor.ajay.app/ https://sponsor.ajay.app/
- rvnx 2y agoAnd the irony is that if you pay for YouTube Premium, you still get these baked-in ads :/
- tzs 2y agoWhat's ironic about it? YouTube premium removes ads that YouTube adds to videos. Those sponsor ads in the videos are put there by the content creator who made the video.
- rvnx 2y agoYes sorry, perhaps not ironic, disappointing or deceptive would be more appropriate. YouTube could enforce the content creator to tag the sponsored segments.
