And soon probably everywhere unless you pay, because YouTube is testing server side ad injection, so they’d be part of the main video stream.

Not from the US but I’m pretty sure the ftc requires ads be disclosed and if the company isn’t doing it you have to report it to the ftc for some stupid reason if I recall correctly

So iirc that might be a legal loophole which allows adblockers to work

They can definitely inject the ad into the video stream on the server side and still correctly classify it as ad. Some other platforms already do that. From my own experience, many podcasts monetize like that. The ads get injected by their distributors. Leads to German ads before English speaking podcasts, if you stream them from Germany. However, their ads are skippable. Wouldn’t be surprised if YouTube somehow made that impossible, too.

I can’t see how they will not be able to properly disclose the ad, they will just do that without breaking a videostream, and in a most machine unfriendly way they can come up with. It’s going to be like captcha but saying “this is an ad”

It’s been about a year since I had an ad on mobile. It takes about a minute to set it up so you don’t see them.

I was being a smart ass, but it was a lead in to let you know you have the option to be ad free.

I haven’t seen a YouTube ad on my phone since about 2021, thanks to the magic of Vanced and later ReVanced. Sounds like a skill issue on your end ngl
