Now that youtube officially started rolling out adblocker killers, what are we going to do?>pic rel, what you get when you try to view a view with adblockers now
works on my machine
>>109892322every rollout is gradual
>>109892326I'll wait for uBlock Origin to update, as always.In any case, there are always options to counter ads. There is only so much YouTube can do short of sending thugs to your house to force your eyes open and pointed at the screen until the ads end.
>>109892312Never had a single issue including the buffering popup or buffering in general. Using a properly configured FF + uBO, just works.
ublock on chrome still works fineI get the "experiencing interruptions" every now and then but you just have to spam F5 until it goes away
>>109892312I know for a fact that the vast, VAST majority of people are goyim who just buy premium or watch adverts until the skip button appears on their phone or smart TV so why are youtube so utterly hellbent on stopping adblockers?I reckon the supermajority of normie views still aren't using them despite how easy it is, so what drives them to keep pushing so hard?
>>109892312>YouTube blocks ad blockers>people stop watching YouTube>content creators that are already dependent on Patreon get real jobs>repeat steps 2 and 3 until YouTube is bankrupt
>>109893464Anon, my mom uses adblockers that she set up herself. She's in her 70s.
it's only a video file. can an extension not be made that directly plays the file and bypasses youtubes player?
>>109893464cable tv must continue to live on in one form or another
>>109893990My 26 year old brother and 31 year old sister does not even know what an ad blocker is. I tried showing them but they were not interested. So they sit through constant ads like fucking retards. I had a friend and I told him to get an ad blocker because they kept showing up when he was listening to music and he said he wouldn't know about any of that stuff. So I told him to install brave then because it has an inbuilt one and his gf didn't know what a browser was, and thought I meant a music playerThe average person just doesn't know or understand computers or software. They use phones only and don't ever learn how to use them beyond apple/google stock applications. Knowing anything about software is rarer than you think. It's always been this way, and now tech literacy has fallen even more since smartphones. Your mother is special
>>109896264>I tried showing them but they were not interested.>he said he wouldn't know about any of that stuff. i don't get people like this.... especially when someone is offering to do it for you.... you click install extension and it's done... it's quite literally not computer science
>>109892312i wanted to see how far chatgpt had come so i switched from google to openai and lost my free youtube premium. but luckily there hasn't been anything i care about watching for a quite a while. i think i will switch back to google next month, until then i guess i will just have to pirate stuff
>>109896395NTA but in my experience such attempts at helping are perceived as annoying precisely because most people don't really care about ads, it's normalized to a certain extent, blocking ads is deemed as le heckin hard 1337 task so they just shrug it offEven if they complain about it, most will say "nah no thx it's not really that bad honestly" when you try to explain there is no reason to see one billion ads per hour
>>109896422well i'll never understand it. my dad has been using computers for 30 years, currently has 5, built them, uses linux, but when it comes to blocking ads he says 'no'
>>109892312Most youtube videos are AI generated garbage so I'll just use a local AI instead. Or watch anime as god intended.
>>109896264feels bad man. I got my family to use adblockers, even though it took a while to convince them and obviously I had to set it up.
>>109892607Don’t give Google any ideas.
>>109894719No. There's a fuckload of javascript between you and being allowed to see the video's url.
>>109896540you're telling the me leet haxors of /g/ can't get past simple javascript?
since a couple of days ago, whenever i queue more than 1 video in firefox I get a memory leak - is it this?
>>109896395Yes I don't either but it's probably just they think it is more complicated than it really is and feel intimidated about learning something new computer related. And they are just conditioned to tolerate adverts. They switch off for 15-30 seconds until the video plays, and then it starts mid way and they zone out again and they don't let it bother them and that's good enough for themPersonally, I can't do that. I can't stand adverts. I feel insulted and disrespected being bombarded by them, not just annoyed. But im a sperg. Normal people can just zone out
>>109896395They're literal cattle. If they don't see someone else do it they won't do it
>>109892326Why don't they just push the index.html onto the server and show it to everyone? I dont get this
Everyone I know is shocked when I tell them that I regularly go weeks at a time without seeing a single ad online. When I tell them that all it takes is a couple extensions and apps, they all immediately lose interest.
>>109892312When ublock stops working then Youtube goes in the trash permanently because there are other options. Good riddance to your globohomo trannyjeet AI slop disseminator.
>>109892312I've gotten this on a handful of videos but it seems inconsistent.
>>109892312>Now that youtube officially started rolling out adblocker killers, what are we going to do?as long as they don't use drm there is NOTHING they can do to block adblockers
>>109892312womm
>>109892312>>109893464>>109898434You know why most normies fear adblockers? It's because they've been brainwashed by mainstream media into believing that adblockers are malware, hacking, or somehow illegal or immoral.Just read or watch some news reports about the topic and you will see.
womm
>>109898687they could do the twitch method and splice the ad directly into the video stream. maybe use their new SABR protocol to reject any seeks past it. surprised this hasn't happened desu. probably because their backend is a lumbering monstrosity of indian+slop spaghetti
I used to keep twitch streams on my second monitor before ubo stopped blocking those ads, now I don't use twitch. It's really that simple
>>109892312Pay up piggy
lg kino is getting blocked aswell
>>109892322It does, but I am still F5'ing more than usual
>>109892808One annoying thing is that opening timestamped links doesn't work anymore. Videos take a while to load, and they start from the beginning.
>>109897092It's A/B testing. They test if it doesn't have bugs (false positives) and doesn't cause a loss in revenue in some other way.
>>109892607This. They employ an army of jeets to come up with latest way to detect adblockers and the weaponized autists patch their tools within a few weeks
>>109896395My parents put YouTube on their TVs so adblockers is far more complicated. So of course they pay for premium instead
>>109892312I don't use youtube..
>>109892312I already trained a tiny vision model to locate the youtube "skip ad" buttons. I assume it still works, if you just run it with auto-skipping every ad for several hours then youtube stops showing you so many ads eventually.https://huggingface.co/calebt9990/adskip_yolotuneTry that one, see if it detects the skip ad button. Then you just need a python script to run it on a few second loop and auto-click the button, available here: https://github.com/calebtt/youtube_skip_button_fine_tuned_yoloIt should work for un-interrupted youtube watching and the model is tiny.
>>109901224tiny vision model fine tunings like that could do a lot of industrial tasks if corporations weren't fucking retarded and filled with equally retarded foreigners in the best positions.
Could probably use a regular HF model with vision capability to intelligently determine where to click for skipping an ad.
>>109892607It's utterly trivial to throw an unblockable ad where the content goes. Adblockers have a spot to wedge in because of the lack of trust between advertiser and website, which should not be an issue for something like youtube.
>>109892312You could stop using Youtube...that's what I did
why do people jump through so many hoops to consoom their worthless content slop? just get a hobby
>>109901414hoop jumping is also a hobby, dickbag
>>109901224>https://github.com/calebtt/youtube_skip_button_fine_tuned_yoloI just realized you can probably use an agentic build tool to auto-annotate all of the images you want to fine tune the tiny model with.Shit has to be so easy other than collecting the training images to begin with. Start taking screenshots of the new ad layout.
We have this thread every week and it's always some faggot that doesn't updoot his filters
>>109896540What does youtubedl/Yt-dlp do?
Chrome 149 or Firefox
>>109901491probably uses youtube API to download it
>>109901491yt-dlp downloads many chunks, it's not a single file.Audio and video is also separate.You also have to feed it the cookies from your browser.And there is often a timeout before it can download, just like you get when using a browser.
Come home white man
>>109892312>This thread again. My ad blockers all still work fine and they always will.
>>109892312i'm sure hundredth time is the charm...
You niggas actually update? Inb4 >you'll get pwn'd
>have ControlD>have adguard>do not have all the shit OP hassimple as
>>109892312>Waaaaah I have to pay to conveniently stream the largest video repository of all time? I have to pay? To use resources? I can't just use them for free? 120 bucks a year? I don't have a job, this is literally giving me a panic attack! Stallman HELP!!A glimpse into the mind of a freetard
welp
>>109899150>lg kinoJust say you're a pedo
>companies pay youtube to show ads>people pay youtube to not show ads
>>109892312>what are we going to do?Something productive instead of YouTube.
Do you even self host dns?
>>109896812Eh they can, until it changes a week later and maybe they won't deprecated the extansion for a few weeks of regular updates, but I don't want to maintain a project that a simple self-hosted dns/pihole solves.
>>109892312works on my machine
>fomoslop about adblockers being blocked but this time for sure trust me brodudejust use ubo lite like normal people
Just wait a few days for the update that gets around it. Like always. If you're downloading mp3s to listen to at work always get them early just in case Jewtube does something like this.
>>109899057not if you're planting gummy bears
>>109892326I've been looking at these same threads for like 5 years now. Literally nothing ever happened to me.
>>109892312I haven't had an issue like this yet but they've absolutely fucked the bitrate on every video I watch on my browser
Still working on brave, also set up a pihole at the head of your network
>>1098923124chan is also telling me to turn off my blockers
>>109906652Bullshit, if they actually started doing that there would be like 20 threads of people bitching about it.
