ok, so i added this code to my ublock origin filter list, then went to youtube, and the injected ads were still showing up in about half the vids. closed firefox, reopened, same. rebooted my win11 machine, now the injected ads are NOT showing up any longer. not sure if youtube switched it off because they're still beta testing this bullshit or if the code is working but it SEEMS to be working. if it stops i'll come back to edit this comment. thanks for the tip man!

at least it's not currently spawning an actual video advertisement, so, small blessings, the two injected ads stay static for 10 seconds a piece (makes sense), and if you don't click skip, the first tiers to the second then tiers to the video (was thinking of going pihole but you just confirmed it won't make a difference, if they start injecting autoplay video ads, then it'll be back on my todo list)

Just got hit with this for the first time, and at first I was like what the fuck is this happening here, I'm running Firefox latest, and UBlock origin latest, never seen this before. Happening for every video, two injected video ads before the video, seem skippable, but i'm not clicking on them. Hope UBlock catches up to this quick, this sucks.

they've been beta testing this for weeks, had it come up out of nowhere and stay like this for all video's for an entire evening, then next morning the comments and related video sidebar were back where they've always been

I like it, Kelly is a superstar (pun intended)

no, they got the blueprint now, just nuke the pirates ISP service, in most cases them, and their families/roomates have lost all ability to connect to the internet

This is the nuclear option, it's not being sued, it's being in a remote location with only one local ISP that provides service to your area, getting caught torrenting, and then having the ISP terminate your service. You are fucked.

Biden has had a very bad not good two weeks, and Trump seemingly is untouchable with all the momentum possible, his rape and fraud conviction, pending insurrection and classified files cases notwithstanding. We're all witness to the end of things. Buy canned food, plant vegetables.
