Really interesting read about the history of YouTube adblocking, how the new detection works, how uBO is responding, and how not to block the new popups.

does this affect the ip range blockers. I thought about getting one of those, but youtube will probably find a way to cook ads into regular content, but we have AI now.....

Like pihole? I recently set it up and it is not blocking YouTube ads (as other commenters have also pointed out).

Most of the streaming sites are serving ads from the same subdomain these days. I think Paramount might still be separate? But causes issues when you try to log in as well, so have to pause Pihole to log in. Then ads are (sometimes) blocked :)

When the time comes that YouTube wins. It is also the time they loose. Personally i wouldnt use Youtube at all without adblock.
