    Once server side ad blocking makes its way into mainstream, ad blocking I think will get interesting. Closer to the old ad blockers for cable television.

      Don’t worry, we’ll always be able to detect ads and block them. It’s by nature of an ad to be detectable. I highly doubt YT will manage to add ads into the content, not the into the video part, but inside the content, like some Youtuber do already for their sponsoring and even then we have sponsor block.

      What do you mean by server side?

        Heres a better article on the technology: https://adguard.com/en/blog/youtube-server-side-ad-insertion.html

        It basically makes ad blockers as we use them not work by injecting the ads into the video itself. It will also make things like sponsor block/ublock origin/etc… not work. They are testing the waters as of now.

          So you don’t mean ad blocking you mean ad serving.
