YouTube has been spotted testing server-side ads, which could pose a problem to ad blockers.

    I’ll be the devils advocate: if this lets them stop trying to fucking break all the 3rd party tools, then I’m almost willing to say it’s half a win.

    I only half use 3rd party tools to block ads, the MORE important half is that the 3rd party apps fucking show me my subscriptions in chronological order and NOTHING FUCKING ELSE.

    I’d trade off ads you could skip by hopping forward 30 seconds in a video stream vs. missing things you’re actually subscribed to, and having to deal with all the garbage google shovels at you.

      Weird, I don’t use any add-ons and the subscription page by default works exactly like I think you want.
