this is the kind of retarded shit i love reading on orange reddit while taking a shit
erm watching free videos in a different client? stop pirating dude
what's funnier is that there's no way for a 3rd party client to SHOW ads, it's impossible, so it's not even blocking ads in the first place, it just can't support them
@zero i wonder why YouTube doesn't do something on the fly that bakes ads into the videos

@mischievoustomato @zero
I was thinking about this a few months ago too, but then I decided to stop worrying about it, cause I'm afraid it would give YouTube ideas.

@alyx @mischievoustomato @zero it is weird that youtube doesn't do it even though twitch does. even with twitch though there are ways to get around it, though a lot harder and more inconvenient. maybe youtube sees it as a losing battle, or it would require a significant rewrite of their streaming code.

@beardalaxy @alyx @mischievoustomato twitch doesnt exactly do that, they just bake the "ad break" into the stream, serving different regions a personalized ad directly into the stream would probably be insanely expensive or they would do it
