    Oh no, please no.

    Will uBlock still work or will that also break when/if this gets added?

        I doubt it’ll be impossible as Google will be required by many laws around the world to make it clear if something is an advert, especially in the EU. So there will be a mechanism to know if something in the stream is an advert or not.

        Adblockers should be able to adapt but I do think SponsorBlock might be stuffed if users are seeing adverts at different times in the stream.

        They will also want to block people from skipping the ad. So they’ll have to provide timestamps, when skipping should be blocked. Maybe those can be somehow extracted.

          That’s a pretty good idea. As soon as skipping is disabled, start skipping. And stop skipping when you’re allowed to skip again.

                Energy usage isnt bad its literally what makes shit happen. Hallucinations yeah but its getting better, what does enforcement mean?

                    I’d argue its a tradeoff for efficiency. Hallucinations are getting better its already better than the average human especially with tool use, self checking and chain of thought. And the whole enforcement thing I’ve never had that issue sounds like something is only run into on proprietary software and well thats a cluster fuck anyways.

      Legally, YouTube has to tell you you’re watching an ad. This means that at least visually somewhere (it could be baked into the video stream, for example), there should be a distinctive pattern that extensions should be able to grab and make the video fast-forward.

        If youtube manages to stop fast forwarding, maybe at the very least we could auto-mute, and maybe overlay photos of puppies or something

          Bad idea. People would get a negative Pavlovian reaction to puppies after a while.

          Imagine walking down the street, seeing a puppy and immediately getting annoyed! That’s no way to live, man! 😄

      Based in my experience it does not work. Ads still play
