I often see the sentiment that YouTube and adblockers will be forever locked in a cat-and-mouse game. However, for many years now, Twitch has entirely eliminated adblocking on desktop web.
What is stopping YouTube from replicating Twitch’s advertising strategy of embedding ads directly into their videos?
The difference is that yt videos are of defined length and content, there are already sponsor blocks that can find an in-video sponsor segment and cut it in real time, I can’t see why wouldn’t it be the same with ads
