So what we need is a new disruptive media type that puts is on the head-end of the cycle again?
Nah. We need to hack the planet.

Probably 10 years until AR starts this cycle over.

Can you, though? Because I remember when DVB started in Europe, they’ve sent a signal during commercials that makes your device block the fast forward feature.
I don’t know whether that’s still a thing. But you needed a hacked firmware on your TV / set top box to allow to FFWD through commercials back then.
I've never heard of that being the case in America, but I can't speak to how it works in Europe. That would be lame if it worked that way.

it’s the opposite of Economy Plus
Oh so you pay to be abused, gotcha.

I truly, truly don't get it.
Ublock Origin + Firefox still works.
Works just fine.
Been that way for over a decade.
Yes, if you're more privacy concerned (and there are good reasons to be) you can use some other browser, something like NewPipe, or Invidious...
But I just don't get why any normie, ever, goes for YT Premium...
Ublock Origin + Firefox
YouTube started detecting and complaining about that yesterday (for me).
-
correct me if I'm wrong, but I think ublock origin updates quickly enough to remove these notifications before most users see them
It often does, yeah. Not always though. I got one of the adblock warnings last night, and it refused to play the video. I fixed it by heading into ublock settings and manually updating. It always makes me laugh how rapidly the ad-blocker arms war progresses

Damn, you pay and still get ads? Does that count as findom? Like it feels very cucky, doesn't it?

I tried watching a 30 minute video on YouTube the other day and it injected ads every 1 minute for the entire video. Fuck Google. Fuck YouTube. Fuck Alphabet.
An interesting component here is that it's possible that the video creator is responsible for this silly level of ads, but it's impossible to know. Creators can select points in the video where ads will happen, which they can use to preserve the video's flow as much as possible. In theory, you can even select to not monetise your video at all, which is a useful tool if the topic is something particularly dense or sensitive. In practice, I've seen plenty of creators apologizing when an inappropriate ad plays at a sensitive part of the video, despite them having tried to disable ads on the video. It must suck to have so little power over one's own work.
In your case, I suspect this was a creator choosing to maximally monetise their video, given the regularity and number of ads. However, it's possible that this is a 100% "Fuck Google" situation, given how opaque they are. I find it frustrating that when we have poor experiences like yours, we don't even have a clear target to get angry at. It leads to accountability so diffuse that it's like homeopathy. Getting angry doesn't necessarily help change things (at least individually), but it can be incredibly cathartic even then

YouTube already had too many ads, and I stopped using as a result. That was several months ago. I guess I'll just have to stop using it even harder.

Adblock/revanced are working. Google’s ad revenue is getting squeezed and so they need to shoehorn more ads everywhere to get the same revenue levels, since so many people never see the ads.
Keep using them. You’re making business really difficult for scummy Google.
Adblock, maybe a noticeable fraction on desktop, but Revanced users are within a rounding error of the total users, surely?
I feel like both populations are now dwarfed by the numbers watching YT on their TV's built-in apps, which throw demented amounts of ads at you.

It complained about it for me as well.
And then kept working.
I am currently crippled and basically just do PT, shitpost on lemmy, and watch youtube... all day long.
If it was gonna block me after 3 videos, it missed it by about 100.

I used to watch YouTube with ads since they added ads. It wasn’t too bad.
Then during the start of Covid tons of people watched YouTube and googles greedy eyes lit up… they went from 1-3 (skipable) ads per video to ads every minute of video. I was like WHAT THE F&$@… then installed U-block.
I couldn’t believe their greed.
I also spent Covid downloading (yt-dlp) every video I wanted to archive for offline (never know if they will someday block downloads), I’m also worried for a time we loose YouTube. 99% of the things I loved about the internet is dead now, someday it will happen to YouTube too.

They're trying to block adblockers again, it seems. I got the "adblockers are not allowed" popup again recently.
Oh no... Anyways,
* Adds a filter for the pop-up*

I’m dating this person and we were watching YT and she didn’t have any ad blocker up and I was fucking blown away

Some of us use NewPipe.

Had a "youtube doesnt allow adblock" pop up yesterday, set up freetube. No login required, even has a subscription import tool. So far so great.
Had my first ones yesterday too.
I'll use FreeTube if I have to, though I don't quite like the UI, but cleaning the cache seems to have done the trick for now.

Edit: Guys. I think a lot of you missed where I said EASIEST METHODS.
Easiest methods to ditch Youtube ads:
- PC: Firefox + uBlock Origin
- Mac, option 1: Safari + AdGuard
- Mac, option 2: Firefox + uBlock Origin
- Android, option 1: Youtube ReVanced (FYI: ALL Play Store listings for this are fake; the official site is revanced.app and is the only place to get it)
- Android, option 2: Firefox Mobile + uBlock Origin
- iPhone/iPad: Safari + AdGuard
For those who may have heard about Pi-hole and are wondering why it's not on this list: PI-HOLE DOES NOT BLOCK YOUTUBE ADS. IT NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL.

It's like cable TV, pay $100+/mo just to watch ads
