I will never understand how anyone can stand watching a 10+ second ad before every video on youtube. It's awful.

It makes me cringe so fucking hard when I'm using someone's computer or watching them using it, and they don't have an ad block installed. How can someone be cool with sitting through a 15 second video before getting to the content they actually want to watch? How can someone be cool with companies harvesting their data and trying to force products down your throat while you're doing something as simple as browsing the internet. I don't even watch cable anymore because of the commercials. I torrent whatever I want to watch. Fuck being part of the botnet.

stop telling normies about ad blocking, it will doom us to play a cat and mouse game of webdveebs verifying if ads are not blocked and us writing tools that return fake ad check results that they where shown to get to the content

They happen on very rare occasions.
Mostly 30 second unskippables and even surveys that require answers.

I have a simple policy on this one: block adblock begging too.

It's my user-agent. I'll always win.

I've been blocking ads since banner ads started becoming a thing. I've never had a shred of regret: it's my bandwidth they want to use too, and it really is an incredible overhead on many sites. Any time I see an exploit directly related to ads, and every time I see someone's browser who doesn't have an adblock, I know I made the right choice.

Advertisers abused their position. They could have been responsible with unobtrusive advertising that doesn't track you or spread malware, but they didn't.

You don't deserve ad revenue if your ads are cancer.

True that. There are often >1:30 ads (trailers and shit) but they are always skippable

The 0:20 UNfuckingskippable ones are much more annoying

From what I can tell it happened a bit after they were bought by Google. I've blocked ads since 2005, so I missed it myself. First time I saw Youtube without an adblocker was in 2009, and apparently video ads had become a thing already.

It's funny how ad companies didn't come up with any idea to bypass adblockers.

For example they can host ads right in the website's host instead of downloading them by javascript.

Hosting ads on each website makes no sense financially. The web host sure as hell isn't going to pay for it; the bandwidth costs would probably exceed any ad revenue. It also doesn't make any sense for the ad companies to pay for hosting costs across multiple domains. They'd make more money by hosting it on a few domains and then just injecting javascript across a shitload of websites.

They can pay more. Even a single file_get_contents to ad host can eliminate lots of normie ad blocker users.
