Youtube and all the streaming platforms are clueless as how to deliver ads. If ads wasn't against my religion I could make adblock useless within a week. I actually think they are scared to make adblock useless. Because in the past twitch for example have been able to. Then quickly reverted it when they saw they viewer numbers drop off a cliff. They need viewers who don't see ads because otherwise investors would pull out and they would go under.

That's interesting, I hadn't heard about that but it makes sense. They're trying to please the advertisers and the viewers at the same time
