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?

    What we need is something like fediverse, but for online videos

    That’s Peertube right? I haven’t used it.

      That’s pretty much the problem with every federated service right now 😬

        Even if it was used it’s unlikely Peertube could compete with YouTube due to the nature of storage space required for HD videos.
