YouTube has been spotted testing server-side ads, which could pose a problem to ad blockers.

    Most normies I know watch YouTube with ads already. I sadly don’t think this will put much of a dent in YouTube.

      That’s the thing, right? They’re fighting a very small minority of users blocking ads/tracking this hard

        Well the upside is that they’re not actually trying to get it to stop, they’re just making an effort to please their customers.

        Perhaps it’s better anyway if our favourite adblock/tracker blocking services don’t become popular
