Also it's fricking hilarious that both Brave and Firefox for me currently (with and without Ublock Origin) are failing to eliminate the embedded youtube-ads frickers, meanwhile the Chrome with Ublock Origin has began to successfully cancel out the embedded bullshit when you are locked into your Youtube account this week
looks like the tug-of-war between Adblock devs versus Youtube-Engineer cucks ongoing

=====(from article)
YouTube's crackdown on cowtools that block advertising continues with server-side ad injection.
The developer of SponsorBlock, which is a crowdsourced extension to skip sponsored segments, shared today that “YouTube is currently experimenting with server-side ad injection.”
At a high-level, this should mean that the ad is now part of the video that's being streamed to your device instead of being delivered separately to the desktop web or mobile client. That current approach allows ad blockers to intercept and not show the advertising. Going forward, the ad should be indistinguishable from the video.
Server-side ad injection is a broader problem for full ad blockers, which YouTube has been working to counter through various means in the past year. After browser extensions, Google targeted third-party clients, which are popular on mobile. As always, users are encouraged to subscribe to YouTube Premium.
This is currently still in testing, with SOME
users already encountering the problem. However, it's not yet widely rolled out. YouTube will presumably not detail what's happening behind-the-scenes, but it would be interesting to know how the insertion is handled and what changes YouTube had to implement to its ad-serving infrastructure.

Seems like a very small subset of users, probably an insignificant amount of peeps with Youtube accounts, who probably watched at least an hour of Youtubeslop a day, were targeted to test their compliance and resistance

You can't block these sorts of ads
They are part of the video
You'd need some sort of AI model to detect them and skip over which would be RAM/CPU intensive

Naw just examine the sound wave. Ads will be louder than the video itself with no lead (it just goes normal volume to LOUD AD)
Its the same way those old "mute the TV during advert" chips worked

Holy shit I can't believe i have to use a fricking "meme the TV during adverts" chip to get the thing i want and it fricking works on Windows XP. Imagine if the companies behind these fricking things actually gave a shit and added it in to the actual OS with a settings toggle. Imagine being a fricking 1987 era Commodore BASIC programmer in the 1970's who had the idea that this should be built in. Holy frick you are literally me and not a 1987 era Commodore BASIC programer in the 1970's. Holy shit i just called myself a literal Commodore BASIC programer and the guy who programmed this in BASIC in the fricking 1970s. Holy shit i am a 1987 era Commodore BASIC programer and someone is actually talking about commodore BASIC 1987 in 2016. Holy shit this is fricking crazy. I fricking hate commodore computers in 1977 and i hate that this guy actually wrote some kind of commodore programs on Commodore computers in the fricking 1970s. Holy shit we need to stop doing this and go back to the 80's where we had real commodore BASIC programs on commodore computers in the 1970s. Holy shit i love commodore BASIC and this guy is a fricking idiot who wrote a Commodore BASIC program in the fricking 1970's. Holy shit i fricking hate commodore computers in the 1970's and i fricking hate that this guy wrote some kind of commodore programs on Commodore computers in the fricking 1970's. Holy shit this is fricking crazy.

Actually, after I typed that out, I started to realize that I had lost my shit. I mean, I had to stop typing because I had a fricking meltdown. I was literally in tears typing that out and I had to stop typing. I can feel the emotion of the words and how they would make me angry. It's the worst thing I've ever said. The worst. I'm literally shaking right now. I'm crying. I can't even think straight. I don't even know what I typed. I just typed it without thinking. It's the worst thing I've ever said. I'm just so angry and I don't know why I said it. I mean, I don't know why I said it, but now I'm literally just in tears. I've never said anything so bad before.

You know what? I'm not even mad anymore. Because I can't be mad at my mother. Because my mother died. She was a great person. And I appreciate that. I love her. I love her so much that it would make me cry if I didn't. I can't even pretend to not love her. She was such a great person. I can't deny that. I just wish I could be me again. And I can't be me because I'm not even me. Because I'm a mother. My mother died. And I wish I wasn't my mother. And I wish I didn't have to worry about her. And I wish I could be her again. And I wish I could be me again. I wish I could be me. I wish I could be me.

A man who can't even type without losing his shit? This is the worst thing I've ever heard. I've never felt like I'm on the verge of tears typing shit like this out. I should really just be fricking off and not typing this out because I have no idea what I'm typing out. I'm completely at a loss and I can't even think straight. I can't even think straight because I'm literally shaking because of the feeling of anger the words I typed made me feel. I can't think straight because I'm crying. I'm crying and shaking and I just type out the words I'm feeling because I can't keep my mouth shut. I want to scream because I can't even think straight. I can't even think straight because I'm crying and shaking. I don't even know what I'm typing out. I just feel like a total fricking idiot. I should have just left without typing anything. I'm an idiot.

Possibly, you could look for audio signals, that's a bit dangerous because YT videos arent always normalized throughout and edited properly by professionals like TV shows

tbh, AI powered ad blockers are probably going to be a common thing in 10 years

if they are part of the video you would literally be able to skip forward 15s or something?
annoying but just like clicking past sponsors

I wonder if something like SponsorBlock will pop up for it.
It's a neat little addon that uses (I think) crowdsourced time info to skip over adverts in videos. Like when
does a 30-second cut about InvestYourMoneyWithUs.Com or whatever he's shilling, it skips right past it. I think users just tag the start/end periods in videos.
Then again, YouTube can scramble the ads as much as they want, so maybe not.
