What’s the garbage content you’re talking about? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
At this point I'd be happy to pay for Ublock vs Premium. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
No, its why I added my last paragraph. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Advertising revenue has been going down for creators for a few years now. It's well documented, it's why Patreon pushing stated in the first place, many smaller creators wouldn't be able to survive without it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
For me, that is only true as long as adblockers work. Free Youtube without adblockers is miserable. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Youtube Premium will stop that. 14 bucks a month is worth it for better sleep. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
That has little to do with google though. Googles been paying out the same % for basically ever and its the highest % of anyone. Advertisers have started paying less for the spots for a myriad of complicated reasons. Google wasnt cutting out creators, they just couldnt sell the ad spots for as much money. Its kinda a complicated problem and not as simple as oh they stopped paying them, evil google.
Smaller creators were never able to survive on just youtube adsense anyway, patreon absolutely was made to help them out and even if youtube upped the cut they gave creators, patreon is here to stay. Creators arent giving up that revenue. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
dont worry, someone will find a way | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Youtube is also cracking down on video downloading. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Hm, that will suck. But sometimes I also feel like Redditors hate ads a disproportionate amount | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I do the same but now creators just spam me with nordvpn ad reads. I hate it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
oh, absolutely! especially as it is with the mixed-bag-at-best quality of content on the site. i don't feel the compulsion to sit through the pre-, mid-, and post-roll (the audacity!) adverts for a video that might be a complete waste of my most valuable commodity - my time! oh well, alea iacta est, if this does end up being implemented then ad-free youtube was nice while it lasted... unfortunately though, this is the business model of social media: they start out free in order to build a userbase and investors, and when the hype train reaches a fever pitch they start to nickel-and-dime you with adverts, microtransactions, paywalls, what-have-you, and eventually - the dreaded subscription service >~> | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
ublock origin + sponsorblock | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
For the amount of time I spend on Youtube, 14 a month is pretty reasonable. I get much more value out of Youtube than Netflix or HBO. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
use sponsorblock. skips that shit automatically, as long as someone has put the markers in there, which is true for most videos especially popular ones | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Oh, you're gonna pay for premium? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
If you use Premium, Sponsorblock will work fine to deal with that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
You know how you can watch YouTube videos on the Reddit app and they never have ads. Could you just share every YouTube video you want to watch on Reddit and view there to not have to have ads? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Well that is what Youtube is trying to change by bypassing adblockers. Premium will be worth the money to me if Ublock Origin isn't working. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Have you heard of Nebula? That's their bread and butter. A lot of the main edutainment channels are on there and don't have an algorithm to contend with so their videos are usually longer and uncensored since they don't have to worry about being demonitized on it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
>Advertisers have started paying less for the spots for a myriad of complicated reasons
Bullshit. If advertisers are paying less why are YouTube advert revenues going up?
https://www.businessofapps.com/data/youtube-statistics/ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Think of it like this- today, when you watch a video on YouTube, there are two independent objects serving: the ad. And the actual content. This is why adblockers work- they’re really good at identifying this first object and breaking it.
YouTube is experimenting with something called “stitching”. It combines those first/second objects together so, now, it’ll just be one piece of content (with a pre roll/midroll/post roll ad all combined in that content). This renders adblockers useless because they cannot differentiate between the ad and the content.

Well with the amount of money I pay to not have ads on things it's understandable | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
And will these ads show on Bing video results? Because Microsoft still isn't a business partner to Google far as I know | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

A competitor is going to go under quickly if people aren't subscribing or watching ads. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Netflix has a similar system iirc, most ad 'blockers' I found wouldn't work with it but you still use an extension that tricks the server into thinking you watched the ad by speeding up the content. It basically fast forwards through the ad at mega speed when it's delivered. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Makes sense, but on iOS using Brave provides the ability to download the videos via Brave playlist, ad free, background play, and Picture in Picture. It gives the features premium has, a little buggy since YouTube mobile, but it works since you can’t sideload easily without paying for a developer license or renewing the app every 7 days with a PC. I agree something like Firefox is better for anything else Adblock wise though. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
They better be careful. Tiktok is getting pretty good for searching stuff nowadays | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
More videos to run ads against.
IE there are more total ads going out there generating more revenue than before, each individual ad just pays less. Youtube has grown a ton, theres more total revenue, its just spread out over more creators. Thats not a gotcha, thats just math.
Theres a reason you wont find creators every saying their ad cut was reduced, its just the payout rate thats dropped. This is public information. Google has not started taking a bigger cut per ad. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yes and they’re super easy to skip | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

I'll do you one better " lot of related video" but which 'would not cover the step' that you want.
But as the guy said above, it's still reliable for most DIY | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I feel like they should subliminally encode the ad into the video so that when you play it backwards you get the ad. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
How is a company making money a bad thing? Bunch of freeloaders | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
No,,, it's way easier to disable part of the HTML(website) when that HTML is separate from the data you want.
You can literally edit webpages yourself(on your screen) by right clicking and "inspect",,,you can often disable pay screens or ads manually. But this only works if those things are separate parts you can click 'disable' for them. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

They would touch themselves to what I do and shop online. Dirty. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
That isn't hard to block, we have training videos that if they are not played for a minimum of the video length and each frame displayed they won't let it be marked completed. I just hit play and walk off or alt tab and so something else. Then they quiz us on the shit, same god damn videos every month, I just wrote the answers down so I could bypass the waste of time. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I hate when that happens. Or the step you need, they go over it like everyone know this step so moving on | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Hard agree. YouTube is my best subscription by far. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This could have serious consequences for sponorships. I don't think any agency is going to want to sponsor a video when Youtube could inject an ad right in the middle of it destroying the attempt. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

(I appologize that this post is a bit wordy, but since you asked... )
Yeah, I think we have a pretty diverse range of opinions and outlooks there.
I think in my case I'm not down with any (forced, in video) ads from Youtube because of how with certain videos they break up the flow or the mood (videos watched to relax, in particular, don't mingle well with sudden, loud, intentionally attention grabbing advertisements. There might be better ways to do advertisements that avoid this, I know that unlike some people I've never felt the need to use Sponsorskip, but I'm not sure how Youtube provided advertisements could be tweaked to make things work better) **\*regardless\***:
I'm pretty sure I WOULD be down for buying premium if the price felt more reasonable. I know everyone's going to have different points of what they consider a "reasonable price" (so not really interested in arguing that with anyone), but...
At least as far as I'm concerned, if Youtube Premium was, like, a third of what it currently costs, I'd probably have already caved and sprung for it. Maybe even half.
But at its current cost?
(I had a bit more of a ramble here but it can be largely summarized as just "**\*shrug\*"** ;-p.) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

you realize google doesnt want you to use youtube if you dont watch the ads right? thats like if i dine and dash a restaurant, and if the restaurant increased security i threaten them with not going there anymore | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
How will premium users still get an ad free experience then? Won’t YouTube have to double their storage capacity to store two copies of each video? One with ads and one without? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Are you saying the ads would be baked in at different times for each user? So that no timestamps ever worked...not for ad skipping or links in comments or chapters...that would be madness
If the ads are baked in at the same time for everybody, then timestamps work for everybody and links don't break, and people can communicate about times in the video together (which Inludes skipping ads via a user generated database) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Guys, it cost money to store all the hours of content uploaded every second on YouTube. They have to make money otherwise who is going to pay for the cost of running the platform ? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Yeah, why should the people who made the video get any money for it, right? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
You still get ads with Youtube premium since nearly all major YouTubers have sponsors and Scrooge McGoogle wouldn’t dare let you forget it | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
the more people use ad block the more ads they have to serve people who dont use it to make up for it | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
YouTube revanced on my phone. Ad blocker scripts for my PC. And both smart TV's are using ad-free modded YouTube.
Fortunately it's been quite some time since I've had to deal with ads.. but if this day ever comes to an end, I'm happy to uninstall it entirely for good. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Sponsorblock is already skipping 40% of some videos for me so I don't see an issue lmao | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I watch a lot less YouTube now as it is.
If I have to watch too many ads I’m likely to just find something else to do | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
What are you saying? That twitch has unstoppable ads that no blockers can defeat?
Or twitch users have overcome twitches new ads? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

Normal Balkan activities | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
No i meant for the end user to manually skip them.
The current ads if you're not using an adblocker can't be skipped.
If they bake an ad in the video stream then you can just skip forward. If they try to disable the fast forward buttons then that would give data points for a potential extension to automatically skip them | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Oh, AdGuard Extra is working again! Thanks! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Fuck Google 10 years ago YouTube was still watchable now I am forced to use a AdBlock Version of the app on my devices | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Except....those timestamps are quickly and easily uploaded by the first user who enters it...I've seen timestamps entered within a new video going live 3 min ago.
What the real problem is....if the timestamps are variable, some users get a 1 min ad, some get a 30s ad, and all are different times. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Youtube needs to get (even) significantly worse for this to happen. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

I see you’ve never explored the internet other than YouTube | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I mean the fact you immediately have an idea on how to get around the "lot harder" makes the title even more bullshit.
YT can try all they want. Plenty of smart and spiteful people who can and will get around their shit. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

[Peertube](https://joinpeertube.org/) is _maybe_ where you'd find that start up in its infancy. But it's always going to have the problem of not having a lot of content during the bootstrap phase, and what content it does has will have to be low video quality to afford the bandwidth. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I would rather pay for Windows first (which will never happen). | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
How else are they gonna foot the server farm bill?! | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
This is a bad take...spoiled rotten it is.
...who's paying for your server usage over there?
Netflix/HBO/disney ain't free either sonny. Shit needs paid for. Just because you've been living it high with no ads AND no paying, doesn't mean it's not fair.
You can't have both, and have been spoiled thus far.
^(and I even have a Plex with tons of pirated media,,,yet $12 for YouTube is worth it to me...compared that with $5 per video rental, or $60 TV season, or 4 $20 subscriptions with random content,,,and we can start talking. YouTube is 1 sub, that has way more content than all other streaming platforms) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I don't care. I want no ads and that's it | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yeah. I'm not actually anti-ad in a lot of contexts but at some point someone needs to point out that internet ads have typically been longer, more frequent, and more annoying of an experience than TV advertisements ever were. The blatant greed is what people is what people are reacting to more than the concept itself.
(And people may point out that non-TV ads pay a lot less but it's not my problem major corporations suck so bad at negotiating prices with ad buyers) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It's not baked in the video. Server side ads means the ads are served from the same server as the video instead of a separate server, making it harder for ad blockers to detect. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Yeah, same. YouTube is more versatile than TV and Movies streaming services. YT is the only one I pay for.
Plex does the rest for me.
Everyone always says you can get YT without ads if you use an ad block. But I'm not seeing how that is a practical solution when most of my video watching is on my Roku or a smart TV. Not sitting at my PC. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I barely watch Youtube anymore as-is. Go ahead, YT. Try me. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
It's funny how everyone wants everything and no one wants to pay for anything. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |

That why I think this experiment will not go that far and will be dropped. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
That's ok. I don't need YouTube that much. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
They’re paid regardless as to whether you watch the sponsor segment, manually skip it or use a plugin to auto skip it… | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
I would sooner give the money that premium wants as a donation to Ublock's devs since they actually provide something worth the money. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
Unless they're doing server side time checks for every video, it's bypassable. In the case of the Netflix extension, as far as the server knows the full video ad time was played. Tracking actual playtime for each video server side, and implementing blocks in a way that doesn't affect users with unstable connections or edge cases, isn't a trivial implementation or computationally trivial. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-13-06 |
