New Youtube ads getting past ad blockers are ads for an ad blocker


Recommended Posts

Somewhat annoying is that some Youtube videos now start with an unskippable ad despite using ad blockers. I didn't know if there was a thread in regards to this in a non GD location.

While I find the ad intrusion to be extremely annoying, it is still funny to me that the ad I see on Youtube videos is for a paid ad blocker. :lol:

The most annoying situation is when I open a video, wait to skip the advertisements, then immediately seek on the timeline to a spot of interest without watching more than a couple seconds, and another set of advertisements then play.

I can't say that I remember those advertisements. With autoplay disabled, YouTube shows a static picture with some writing that doesn't burn into memory. I still have to wait to skip it. I think the new Opera browser was shown, but maybe that was a sponsored segment.

Since the blocking on YouTube is now very complicated, I haven't even invenstigated what I need for it, and keep that thing updated.
