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?

      You are right, stream will still pause, sorry.
      I guess in my country they arent showing embeded ads (or maybe its the streams I watch) and thought it was working because I dont have that problem (yet).
