Likewise/meanwhile on Twitch, they've engaged in a full-blown arms war against ad-blocking as to where even if you manage to find a workaround or get the stream to play externally (like VLC) they still manage to have pauses for ad breaks. Absolute hell for the few channels I watch and if you'd maybe want to check out smaller channels even that's a nuisance because you'll get pre-roll ads before the stream and ads in the middle of the stream at completely random intervals.
I don't know why but I actually haven't gotten any ads since the whole debacle started. Maybe because I use brave as my browser and ublock on top of that but idk
The only ads I get now are inline ones. "This video was brought to you by _____ (proceeds to do an embarrassing minute-long skit)". They still piss me off though - I remember the day I unsubbed from Game Grumps was after enduring a shitty skit for YouTube Red at the top of one of their videos - motherfucker the whole reason I bought that service was so that I wouldn't have to endure this shit.
