SponsorBlock (and DeArrow)Jun 12, 2024

YouTube is currently experimenting with server-side ad injection. This means that the ad is being added directly into the video stream.

This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times.

For now, I set up the server to detect when someone is submitting from a browser with this happening and rejecting the submission to prevent the database from getting filled with incorrect submissions.

@sponsorblock YouTube is freakishly devoted to staying with a monetization plan that has never worked for them and is currently not working for them

@comradevlast @sponsorblock Except it IS working for them. They're just not content with obscene profits and want even more obscene profits, but they're incompetent and going to end up reducing profits.

I really would like to know how much costs all these server and the huge storage.
