It is definitely possible to almost eliminate ad-blocking on RUclips website. Google could, for instance embed ads directly into videos and/or add a million checks. The use of intrusive techniques may annoy tech-savvy users but they probably don’t like being forced to see ads anyway. I don’t think people would want to pirate RUclips videos so that don’t see a 15-second ad.
@@Y2B123 directly into video ? like how, you mean like literally cut the video put a ad there and then play that video. nah its a nightmare to deal with on the software side of thing. 1) it will slow down video load times coz video rendering takes time and youtube serves million of people every second. 2) ad's are not preset as everyone knows they are served on the go so you will be rendering ads in videos on the go. all of this will polly cost more in server infrastructure than adblocking ever will imo. also it what about premium users. i guess a different api for premium using might work. lol imagine faster video load as a feature for premium users
@@siliconhawk You don't necessarily need to render the \*entire* video. If I'm correct, some video platforms serve their videos in chunks - so once you get to a certain part of the video, the client will then request the next chunk of the video. In this case, you could send the ad as it's own chunk, but send the same response data as you would for normal chunks of the video. Of course, ad blockers might then start keeping a database of video data for known chunks containing ads. The solution to this might be to add a bit of static fuzz or white noise to some of the frames, meaning the video data for that ad is a bit difference. Yes, this would mean that you would have to do a bit of rendering - but you would only need to do so every few hours, as you can send the chunk with white noise to many users before the ad blocker updates it's data base (and the client fetches the new ad blocking database). The server would likely spend far more work processing new actual video uploads (things like compressing the video) then having to occasionally add white noise to an ad to throw off ad blockers. Of course, I could be completely wrong.

There is already an open source "ultimate ad blocker" uBlock Origin will block anything, if you use a custom DNS and block trackers and ads you'll probably never see an ad again
Honestly? If Google is indeed following this approach, that is making ads less and less intrusive and annoying... that is a move that I welcome. The very point of an adblocker is to get rid of ads that are ANNOYING, obtrusive... ones that ruin your browsing experience. If they can (and it seems so) tone it down to a level that it's almost invisible, or at least not annoying, then by all means, that is a far more welcome approach.
yes! Because you are more willing to buy a product of from a good add than to a annoying add website think that more adds = more money, but in reality is more clicks = more money and with more adds there is less clicks per add
Yes , actual ads that are low key work for me, Kills me that legit corp have obvisous scam ads or ones that are just too in your face. If you are in my face like that better be free. Just wish ad companies saw they would be better low key.
Only tech savvy individuals thinks of using ad block. With that, Implementing a built in AdBlock would be a shot in the foot since you are introducing it to your avg joe and they watch ads the most
This is a win-win-win. Users are not annoyed, advertisers get more realistic results, and Google gets its revenue. Also, it's true that people will really find a way if they don't want ads. Shutting down AdBlock will just make the urge to avoid ads stronger.
On a recent visit to a friend's home, he was showing my something on his PC. I was horrified by crap, adverts and all sorts of rubbish flying about his browser. Having used an Ad Blocker for many years I had no idea the rubbish people have to put up with without Ad Blocker. Needless to say, he now had ad blocker. Every time we talk, he thanks me!
@Closet Faggotry Of course it happens! I've noticed it too, an awful experience on other people's computers. One time I shared the dictionary site I used, and she told me it was too awful with ads; I introduced her to the ad blocker and she started using that site.
"every time we talk he thanks me" sounds very hyperbolic, simply because the average Joe would have other things in life to talk about than a Web browser.
I install adblock on every browser I use, with permission from the PC owner but Nobody has ever thanked me. Maybe once. I still think the worse type of ads are the ones creators incorporate in their content, and we can't escape them.
exactly. I've never clicked an ad. If I see something that I do think is interesting, Ill open a new tab and look for it myself. And if the ad is very intrusive I reward that by never buying their product even if I know I would like it.
The primary reason I'd never leave Android is because of the ease of Ad-blocking. A browser like Kiwi almost functions like a desktop browser when extension are needed.
You don’t need an android for Adblock. I’m on my IPhone right now watching this video on Brave browser, which has a built in Adblock. There are options on both OS’s now, android doesn’t own this niche anymore.
If you're not willing to see the ad in the first place, the ad is wasted on you and Google doesn't earn money from the click. Filtering yourself out means that ad is more likely to land in front of someone who will click
@@minbcraft I disagree- A situation I have heard a lot about is during medical emergencies, where the time it takes for a combined 30 seconds of unskippable ads on a first-aid tutorial could literally mean the difference between life or death.
1:55 Piracy isn't an economical damage in industry. It's free advertisement from people who would have never bought the product to begin with, spreading good feedback to people who now will buy the product.
My father (90) was confused by the ads, did not recognize the difference between the ad and the actual content he was looking for (for example searching information about solar panels and ending up changing electricity provider), ad are discriminatory and confusing for aged persons. So I added the extension and his surfing became much more comprehensible.
I actually used to not have adblock on mobile because I couldn't be bothered to set it up. But the intrusive, 10 times louder than the video unskippable youtube ads changed my mind. Making the ads less annoying is the way to go.
Don't get me started on unskippable ads. I loathe them and half the time, I have my finger on the skip button only to find out it's 2 unskippable ads! 😭
Your videos are so watchable - perfect length, good audio, clean graphics, and the topics are distinct from everyone else in the space. I appreciate your team’s efforts!
Louis Rossman says his pay through ad clicks is almost nothing. He said if you sent him $1 once, that would be more money than watching all of his videos with ads. He advises using ad blocker to watch videos and sent creators a buck or two instead that way google doesn't even get a cut. This is of course directed at people willing to send a little coin to their favorite content creators. not the ones who want everything for free.
my only "issue" with this is that everyone is calling it a "loss" as if they first had $35 billion and we somehow took that from them. That's not a loss, it's unachieved potential gains. They don't "lose" money, they just don't make as much as their forecasting models predicted. it's all just words to make you feel empathy and emotional that a company like Google "lost $35 billion bc people used adblock 🥺😢" its not even the videos fault, it just grinds me gears when companies and articles use the whole "Company X lost $Y amount of money"
"To save resources, by filtering out those who would not be swayed by ads anyways from how much they hate ads, google saves ad-pushing resources for the suckers who *would* click ads"
This video uses the term "adblock" to mean the actual extension with that name, and ad blockers in general. Google pays Adblock to whitelist their ads, but that is also the reason Adblock is not the recommended ad blocked to use, Ublock Origin is. It makes it sound like Google is happy you are blocking ads, and then gives arguments that only apply to Adblock, not ad blocking (with ad blockers that actually work), along with arguments that actually apply to all ad blockers, but that's not interchageable.
Google is planning on removing manifest v2 in favor of v3. Manifest v3 will severely limit all adblockers since v3 doesn't allow for extensions to check urls which is something that all adblockers use to block ads.
Adverts drive me mad. If I did not have Ad Block it would change how and what I view. Even on TV, I record everything and skip past every add, station promo and other rubbish I simply do not wish to see. I stopped subscribing to Sky TV because they charge you a subscription and STILL show adds. The ultimate insult.
I've never understood the ad model. For me the best way to convince me to not buy a product is to show me how much money they're willing to waste convincing me to buy a product instead of applying that money to product development. I understand that they need to inform people that they have a product to sell, but I only need to see the ad for it once, not 10 times an hour every hour. Also if I'm convinced that I want something I saw in an ad I'll preferentially get the cheaper genaric version of it because I don't support wasting money on ad's
Haven't used adblock in years, since they started the whole "less intrusive ads" allowance. Instead, I just download a custom hosts file that's updated occasionally for my desktop and block the most intrusive ones at my router, so I don't have to see them on any of my devices. Also, AdGuard on my mobile devices, when I'm not home.
My only complain to google is the double ads at the start of a video in RUclips, that's the reason I started using ad blocks. I felt like it has gone is too far
It's been over a decade since I went online without adblock. A non-adblocked web is just a foreign experience to me at this point.

When they have killed all the competition they can do whatever they want
On a recent visit to a friend's home, he was showing my something on his PC. I was horrified by crap, adverts and all sorts of rubbish flying about his browser. Having used an Ad Blocker for many years I had no idea the rubbish people have to put up with without Ad Blocker. Needless to say, he now had ad blocker. Every time we talk, he thanks me!
@Closet Faggotry Of course it happens! I've noticed it too, an awful experience on other people's computers. One time I shared the dictionary site I used, and she told me it was too awful with ads; I introduced her to the ad blocker and she started using that site.
"every time we talk he thanks me" sounds very hyperbolic, simply because the average Joe would have other things in life to talk about than a Web browser.
I believe in this story actually. The poor dude probably is so grateful because he had to deal with it for 10 years.
This is a true story, I installed ad block in the PCs my parents use and they notice the difference.
I install adblock on every browser I use, with permission from the PC owner but Nobody has ever thanked me. Maybe once. I still think the worse type of ads are the ones creators incorporate in their content, and we can't escape them.
Never gonna stop using vanced, brave, and adblock.
I am watching this on vanced

The people using AdBlock are the people who aren't going to be influenced by this form of advertising in the first place.
@CelestialCrab Well yes, that's because you aren't running adblock.
@CelestialCrab Sounds like you need to help someone install an ad blocker!
@CelestialCrab Universities have been taken over by the bean counters. Higher education in the US has been a joke for two decades now.
@CelestialCrab speak no more, I am an IT student and half my professors are computer illiterate
exactly. I've never clicked an ad. If I see something that I do think is interesting, Ill open a new tab and look for it myself. And if the ad is very intrusive I reward that by never buying their product even if I know I would like it.
Well I saw this video 1 month ago, things have changed RUclips is planning to stop adblockers
The primary reason I'd never leave Android is because of the ease of Ad-blocking. A browser like Kiwi almost functions like a desktop browser when extension are needed.
You don’t need an android for Adblock.
I’m on my IPhone right now watching this video on Brave browser, which has a built in Adblock. There are options on both OS’s now, android doesn’t own this niche anymore.
same with firefox love firefox mobile. never ever using chrome mobile in my life ever again
iOS have adblocking too. Plus you can use other browsers.
@@FawadBilgrami iOS forces all browsers to just be basically reskins of safari because apple requires them to use webkit as a backend
@@sa1t938 Exactly!
The kind of user that will install an adblocker is also the kind that is willing to ditch a product if it doesn't allow adblockers, I suppose.
This... this didn't age too well...
unfortunately
If you're not willing to see the ad in the first place, the ad is wasted on you and Google doesn't earn money from the click.
Filtering yourself out means that ad is more likely to land in front of someone who will click
Also, if you use premium having adblock on doesn't affect anything
You don’t lose time from having to sit through an ad though.
@@minbcraft I disagree- A situation I have heard a lot about is during medical emergencies, where the time it takes for a combined 30 seconds of unskippable ads on a first-aid tutorial could literally mean the difference between life or death.
@@minbcraft 30 seconds every video can easily pile up.
Not anymore bro 😬
This didn't age well.
Also Google: “Ad blockers are not allowed on RUclips”
I wonder if this video should be revisited in light of the fact that chrome has started giving me ad block not allowed error messages..
Aged like milk...
Tai Lopez was the biggest promotor of Ad Blocker for me. lmao
The og of all Internet gurus😂
Use adnau sem people
Aged like milk
Whos here now that RUclips's been testing to block Adblockers?
Mainstream adblockers can be sellouts. Only open source alternatives are really worth using, to be honest. A very eye opening video, as always.
Ublock Origin is the best open source adblock in my opinion.
Ublock
ABP used to be my go-to for years until they sold out and started letting ads through. Now I exclusively use uBlock Origin.
mainstream anything are usually some form of sellouts.
can agree.
I use ublock origin on my laptop
1:55 Piracy isn't an economical damage in industry. It's free advertisement from people who would have never bought the product to begin with, spreading good feedback to people who now will buy the product.
Depends. For big business this is true. For small to medium business it's false.
welp, this aged well
RUclips: Are you sure about that?
Well adblock isn't allowed anymore😅
My father (90) was confused by the ads, did not recognize the difference between the ad and the actual content he was looking for (for example searching information about solar panels and ending up changing electricity provider), ad are discriminatory and confusing for aged persons. So I added the extension and his surfing became much more comprehensible.
Well, this did not age well
I actually used to not have adblock on mobile because I couldn't be bothered to set it up.
But the intrusive, 10 times louder than the video unskippable youtube ads changed my mind.
Making the ads less annoying is the way to go.
Don't get me started on unskippable ads. I loathe them and half the time, I have my finger on the skip button only to find out it's 2 unskippable ads! 😭
i dont know why they insist on putting the ads over the videos. nobody likes getting interrupted
@@shivadarling18 it was fine when it was one skippable ads and a banner, back when youtube was a nice place, good old days
for device wide adblocking I recommend adguard (not the playstore version)
and for youtube I recommend revanced
uhm uhm
Your videos are so watchable - perfect length, good audio, clean graphics, and the topics are distinct from everyone else in the space. I appreciate your team’s efforts!
Voice like a robot, tho. Or is it just me? 😏
he did not cover manifest v3 from google which blocks adblock add-ons in chrome , so video is not good and telling everything unfortunately,
Sometimes I hear youtubers ask if I can turn off adblock on their videos or streams or whatever, and I never do.
I never go anywhere without adblock.
true, they make thousand of $ each day, i think they're safe if some of us are using adblock
Louis Rossman says his pay through ad clicks is almost nothing. He said if you sent him $1 once, that would be more money than watching all of his videos with ads. He advises using ad blocker to watch videos and sent creators a buck or two instead that way google doesn't even get a cut.
This is of course directed at people willing to send a little coin to their favorite content creators. not the ones who want everything for free.
uBlock with custom and curated filters is the way of jedi
Ublock origin is the GOAT
well this aged well didn't it?
my only "issue" with this is that everyone is calling it a "loss" as if they first had $35 billion and we somehow took that from them. That's not a loss, it's unachieved potential gains. They don't "lose" money, they just don't make as much as their forecasting models predicted. it's all just words to make you feel empathy and emotional that a company like Google "lost $35 billion bc people used adblock 🥺😢" its not even the videos fault, it just grinds me gears when companies and articles use the whole "Company X lost $Y amount of money"
They exploit framing bias to manipulate people.
It's called cost of opportunity
As of today, RUclips just gave me a message that I violated terms and conditions. And no videos would payback unless I disabled the AdBlocker
This aged well...
This didn"t age well.
This could have been explained in 2 minutes.
"To save resources, by filtering out those who would not be swayed by ads anyways from how much they hate ads, google saves ad-pushing resources for the suckers who *would* click ads"
this did not age well
Aged like wine
vinegar my beloved
Didn’t age well
This video uses the term "adblock" to mean the actual extension with that name, and ad blockers in general. Google pays Adblock to whitelist their ads, but that is also the reason Adblock is not the recommended ad blocked to use, Ublock Origin is. It makes it sound like Google is happy you are blocking ads, and then gives arguments that only apply to Adblock, not ad blocking (with ad blockers that actually work), along with arguments that actually apply to all ad blockers, but that's not interchageable.
I'm using AdBlock and I don't recall ever seeing ads on YT... Must be because I've disabled the "show nonintrusive ads"
Google is planning on removing manifest v2 in favor of v3. Manifest v3 will severely limit all adblockers since v3 doesn't allow for extensions to check urls which is something that all adblockers use to block ads.
Adverts drive me mad. If I did not have Ad Block it would change how and what I view. Even on TV, I record everything and skip past every add, station promo and other rubbish I simply do not wish to see. I stopped subscribing to Sky TV because they charge you a subscription and STILL show adds. The ultimate insult.
I've never understood the ad model.
For me the best way to convince me to not buy a product is to show me how much money they're willing to waste convincing me to buy a product instead of applying that money to product development.
I understand that they need to inform people that they have a product to sell, but I only need to see the ad for it once, not 10 times an hour every hour. Also if I'm convinced that I want something I saw in an ad I'll preferentially get the cheaper genaric version of it because I don't support wasting money on ad's
Haven't used adblock in years, since they started the whole "less intrusive ads" allowance. Instead, I just download a custom hosts file that's updated occasionally for my desktop and block the most intrusive ones at my router, so I don't have to see them on any of my devices. Also, AdGuard on my mobile devices, when I'm not home.
My only complain to google is the double ads at the start of a video in RUclips, that's the reason I started using ad blocks. I felt like it has gone is too far
