[my penis is on fire]

I wonder if the uBlock developers are about to be the victim of an eBay-style harassment campaign by Google? They've gotta be a billion-dollar liability at this point

Wojizski is fucking us from the grave. The bitch isn't even wanted by Satan so he has her spirit wandering the youtube office whispering these ideas into her successor.

I've received actual barely cropped porn ads on youtube (on the phone app). Fuckers deserve every bit of shit they get.

 

[Black Yoshi]

If someone tries to make me watch a 60 minute ad, I will kill them. I refuse to be hinged and sane about this.

Hey Luigi, I guess someone smuggled in a phone for you?

 

[30+GameOvers]

Huh. The only time I witnessed a more than one-minute-long non-skipable ad was back in mid-2017 - it was a music video to a very generic rock song. I wasn’t aware that long unskipable ads were really that much of a common occurence. Either way, there’s always Invidious.

Invidious is down right now

 

[Would]

Linkara has taken this shit too far. His decade long effort to make you watch the ads has reached it's final stage.

*BREAKING* trump calls for TOTAL YOUTUBE DEATH and signs an executive order to deport neil back to india.

Never forget that this is their ultimate goal:

Null should replace Kiwiflare with this, but have the user respond with "total tranny death".

 

[Elysian]

OK, can anyone tell me, why is it ok that Spotify has unskippable ads, and not ok if Youtube does it?
also, is there a way to adblock Spotify?

I don’t use Spotify directly so I don’t know how to block ads on the live-streamed tunes themselves but you can use SpotifyDown to download any song from Spotify for free without having an account, and the downloaded songs won’t have ads in.

For me, it's FreeTube on desktop and PipePipe (NewPipe with Sponsorblock and subtitles translation) on mobile. Simple as.

I’ve seen full porn ads on Facebook. Some chick fingering herself then it goes into some scam mobile game

YouTube now can show you 60-minute unskippable ads

If I have to use yt-dlp for all my videos, I will.
For now, though, I am glad that my adblocker is still working.

 

[GayestFurryTrash]

I really fucking hope Youtube just dies off at this point. I used to listen to it in my car driving to work but I've already switched back to CD's because of just how cancer the ads have gotten. Final straw was a ten minute ad for before a 3 minute video, absolute fucking clown show.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

This is just going to make people adblock harder. They haven't figured this shit out yet have they?

 

[FamicomGorby]

YouTube now can show you 60-minute unskippable ads

I remember a few years ago YouTube had a glut of ads that were like feature length or like four hour "documentaries". Guess they decided that youtube just needs to be like broadcast TV and the algorithm will decide what videos to play.

How much does an hour long unskippable ad cost? Would Chris Chan be able to use his streaming money to force people to watch his schizo dimensional merge sermon?

 

[NoodleFucker3000]

You can literally just refresh the page to skip the ad.

 

[Clotso Coof]

I got a four minute ad yesterday. Had to close out the tab and start over to avoid it.
