What will happen when ads are injected in the video stream directly.
At that point i will either have to use an ai tool to scrub the filth out
Or
Consider if i really need whatever content is within it and touch some grass instead.
The same thing that happened with sponsored segments.
Look forward to the day they require eye tracking & answering questions about the ads they showed
Please drink a verification can.
Then those prompts will be skipped. Just like you can skip age verification with user scripts
Sponsored segments are fixed. Injected ads won't be.
With yt-dlp? Skip them manually.
Like, my main issue with ads is all the tracking they do. If they add non-targeted ads to the video file I downloaded, whatever, I'll just fast forward through that part of the video.
