Is there a real way to block these injected youtube ads?

Megan · Aug 7, 2017

The new ones that go behind all the adblockers I've tried. It's really worrying to see that people are willing to go as far as to invent a brand new innovative kind of technology just to peddle their lame shit.
No filters or rules work, no other extensions for chrome. Privacy badger doesn't work either. These annoying grammarly and wix ads are frustrating to watch. Anyone else on the same boat here?

Try Ublock Origin?

Papahyooie · Aug 7, 2017

You're talking about the ones that are actually in the videos? I've seen a few... I'm pretty sure they aren't "injected." The content creator is making side deals with the advertised companies to actually cut an ad clip into their actual video. No amount of scripting or filtering can change it... Just have to refuse to support those content creators.

Can you link to a video with such adverts? I want to test it.

I haven't seen ads in youtube for ages since I use Ublock Origin.

In that case, just skip the first 30 seconds?

Haven't seen any "injected" ads on youtube yet (I mostly watch music videos though).

^this.

Consider it an endless struggle to remain ad-free and do what you should do: vote with your wallet, or in this case, their wallet

and unsub.

Using FF and µBlock Origin -> no ads

R00kie · Aug 7, 2017

I also use uBlock Origin, no ads are coming through at all. If you're talking about the ad spots in the videos, unfortunately, it is out of our power to do anything. Say thanks to the corporate greed that swallowed those youtubers that do this.

FYFI13 · Aug 7, 2017

Using AdBlock Plus + No Script, haven't seen YT adds for ages. Except the ones that are part of the video. No software can block these ones.

Megan · Aug 7, 2017

There are no skip ad buttons on the video. It says video will play after ad. I have seen the stupid grammarly ads atleast 50 times. They are so annoying

Will this stop the ads that say video will play after the ad

Vya Domus · Aug 7, 2017

When I have the ad-block thing from Kaspersky enabled this is exactly what I get as well , unskippable ads. If I disable it it goes to normal , 5 second ads that you can skip.

To be honest , although I might get some flack for saying this , a 5 sec ad doesn't kill anyone. You gotta realize that the more people use ad blockers the more intense this embedded ad shit will get.

It will, it's literally an ad Hitler, it will block everything that it comes in contact with.

I don't even know that message

How about clearing your browser cache and flush all cookies first then.

I also never seen any ads in youtube videos unless I'm watching a video of Linus alike which has the ad included in the video but I'm even able to skip this so I really don't see the problem.

(using adblock plus on Chrome)

is blocking adverts on youtube the same as piracy?

it is how the vids are funded so by blocking their revenue are you in fact stealing them?

just wondering

Not sure that's how it works. What if you just close your eyes and cover your ears when the ad plays ? Are you stealing ?

R00kie · Aug 7, 2017

I don't think ads on Youtube do any impact anymore, mainly because most of the people are blocking them, so most people on the platform started using crowdfunding.

Disparia · Aug 7, 2017

I have a YouTube Red subscription and it works quite well for that.

they would still get paid, so no.

But on your end it's the same thing. You're not using any illicit piece of software nor are you obligated to not use ad blockers.

Assimilator · Aug 7, 2017

uBlock Origin or GTFO.

how is blocking something at the source the same as putting your fingers in your ears while going lalalalalala and hoping it goes away?

one is circumventing a system while the other is being a child
