ChicoSuaveuBlock and YouTube got trace busters for their trace busters.
The Big Hit (1998) The Trace Buster Buster Buster
I’m glad I’m not the only one that remembers scenes from this terrible movie. This was the first thing that came to mind.
What this? I cant hear you over my high definition yt-dlp content.
Where i am going I haven’t needed a google account in over a year.
bloubzYou’ve never needed a YouTube account to watch youtube
Ton the SupermassivePoint us towards salvation, Grand Master!
…where can i sign up…?
Are you familiar with Jellyfin?
If you can set up a server of this then its as easy as making the library folder the output folder for yt-dlp
I didnt even have to write me own script. I gave chatgpt a notepad with channel urls and just told it to write me code to load these urls one by one and download the Last 2 videos. I have written code before though so i could verify its output.
Also if someone else wants a prebuilt solution for this, I’ve heard good things about tube archivist
What will happen when ads are injected in the video stream directly.
The same thing that happened with sponsored segments.
Look forward to the day they require eye tracking & answering questions about the ads they showed
Then those prompts will be skipped. Just like you can skip age verification with user scripts
Please drink a verification can.
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥Sponsored segments are fixed. Injected ads won’t be.
At that point i will either have to use an ai tool to scrub the filth our
Or
Consider if i really need whatever content is within it and touch some grass instead.
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.
Personally, I use Tubular on my phone ( Newpipe fork with sponsorBlock ), and freetube on PC.
Melody FwygonSo we have:
- Ad Blockers
- ’Ad Blocker’ blockers
- ’‘Ad blocker’ blocker’ blockers
- ’‘‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers
- ’‘’‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers
- ’‘’‘‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers’ blockers and finally;
- ‘’‘’‘‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers’ blocker’ blockers with
- ’‘’‘’‘‘Ad Blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers’ blocker’ blocker’ blockers
in development.
It’s like playing Uno; but with reverse cards only.
It’s like playing Uno No Mercy, with only reverse-draw-10 cards

The great arms race for your attention
as a firefox user i cant give up and just installed freetube, exported everything from yt. its great
YouTube can definitely afford a war ship and pay people to shoot…we may have enough people to operate a death star but can we afford one ?
The image doesn’t quite work because youtube needs a MASSIVE solution that works, scales, doesn’t fuck up their infrastructure and on and on and on.
Meanwhile on the user front, all your doing essentially is just skipping parts of a video, that will always be infinitely cheaper easier to do. Challenging for sure, but the solution can be small.
Even something as stupid as delaying your video start by 1 min, pre buffering then skipping ads. It’s brute force and barbaric but the point is that Google can’t do shit against that.
My ultimate vision is AI that preloads videos you want and detects ads / sponsor segments and just skips them / cuts them out on your device.
Another way to think about it… YouTube has huge amounts of compute resources, but per user it’s an extremely small amount. Your phone has orders of magnitude more power to dedicate to you than YouTube does. Collectively, we have more processing power than YouTube.

I truly hope the new planet of the apes franchise is building to an actual planet of the apes remake. Time traveling astronauts and shattered statue of liberty. I feel like they’re already sowing the seeds for human mutants living underground worshipping an unexploded atomic bomb. Man those movies were weird.

Is Google Chrome fighting uBlock country-specific? I use Chrome on Win 10 with uBlock and haven’t seen a YouTube ad outside of the mobile app in ages. For me, uBlock never stopped working in Chrome and I watch YouTube videos every 1-2 days.
MubelotixUblock publishes patches so fast you never had a problem
Wow, these guys are even more awesome than I thought then…
Youtube is wasting ressources, it’s a fight they can’t win
Exactly this. They ALWAYS lose this fight.
cRazi_manThey have infinite resources. They’re making gestures to dissuade casuals. I suspect this will get them most of the result they want. They’re also wasting time, effort and resources of adblock programmers (and that is a far more limited resource).
Sure but as long as there is a least one dedicated bearded dude hidden in a dark underground room behind his screen, they will be defeated. No matter how much they spent on the new technology. What I mean is that devs might burn out, they will still be replaced by others. And we get such people faster than youtube is able to burn them out
If they had infinite resources, they wouldn’t need to worry about adblockers.
They aren’t worried about them. They are squeezing what they can out of the platform.
Iirc YouTube has a positive revenue now
Because they wouldn’t need advertising?
They don’t need to actually block everything. They just need to convince their advertisers and stock holders they are.
nah, if they embed the ad into the video stream (they were testing this for some users!), the only adblocking option will be to blank out the screen and wait through the ad (or download the video in advance and edit the ad out automatically), both of which would make it a lot more annoying to adblock than currently.
No, you just need to skip the ad. Sponsorblock has been working for years now, solving pretty much the same problem
Sponsor Block relies on the ads beeing at the same timestamp flr all users
They can be detected
nope, the ad time varies unlike a sponsor segment, and also youtube would not let you skip through an ad while streaming it, whereas sponsors you can, hence the download and edit out with LLM or whatever algorithm works best
It can be detected
yes, but if youtube only serves you the real video chunks after your client plays through the ad chunks (all in the same media stream to the client), theres gonna be some waiting involved, not like adblocking today where it is instant.
