Loophole? Piss off with that language, I control this machine and what is shown on it.

It’s not a loophole, it’s a necessary security function.

I feel like i would hate ad less if they let the creator know when and ad was comming. It would be kind of like TV was; “and I’ll tell you this after the break”. Because those midrolls usually just break a sentence in half!

Well seeing how little tv people watch now I doubt it would be a success. I can’t and will not put up with midroll ads (why I think tv is not seen as much as the past).

It is odd that youtube managed to regress to a state worse then a more or less dead media, but the line has been drawn.

If you only use uBlock default blocking lists then it won’t come up. If you use any other list, like Easylist or Adguard then it comes up immediately

I have NextDNS with Adguard and some up-to-date filters applied on it.
