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

[Megan]

Then they were skippable. Unless you are talking about ads that the content creators themselves put in their videos, in which case those are skippable too, you just jump ahead in the video.

I wish that was true. I have seen ads that i was forced to watch as they said video will play after ad

None of those are over 30 seconds.

Lulz, when does it end....

Adblock plus has always blocked them for me. But now, im not sure as I pay for Youtube Red so I dont get the ads on my phone.

Right here as well, adblock plus user on Chrome, no ads for me....


Couldn't it be cookie related as well?

Will try adblock plus and see if it makes a difference

I think if you look closely you'll see a skip option for the ads that run longer than 30 seconds. but with Ublock Origin I don't even get them.

Thats odd and what's even odder is the fact that you get the placecard at the wrong side of the video screen too.

 

[Easy Rhino]

Apparently not. Any of them that feels people shouldn't be paid for the work they do simply because the payment process is a slight annoyance, I invite you to come work for me. I won't be paying you, because the small amount of time I have to put in to writing you a paycheck annoys me. I assume you'll understand and be OK with that.

I'm confused. Are you agreeing with me?

Could you provide your own screen shot of this happening and a url?

Yeah, I'd like to test this as well....

 

[Megan]

when i experience it again i will take a screen shot ad post it here

I know how youtube works, yes, very well.

I'm confused. Are you agreeing with me?

I'm answering your question. Apparently they do not want the content creators to get paid for their work.

Yes, I'm agreeing with your sarcasm with my own sarcasm.

The problem is, no one is saying that doesn't come up. I've seen it loads of times on ads. But never on an ad over 30 seconds.

Here is a funny thing that happened though. Apparently, if you have ublock there is an issue where it won't block that ad, but it will block the Skip Ad UI.

Here is a reddit thread on it: https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/co...getting_lots_of_long_unskippable_ads/d4cutae/

And also probably why I've never seen a long unskippable ad, since my Adblocker has youtube whitelisted I always see the skip ad button.

 

[videobruce]

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

I saw that ad once and it was annoying after the first five seconds!

This deal must of just started.

 

[dorsetknob]

I wish that was true. I have seen ads that i was forced to watch as they said video will play after ad

Instead of trying to circumvent, consider walking away from the PC and do something else for a few moments

Putting the kettle on for a cup of tea or coffee will also help to kill some time for those that force you to sit through several minutes.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

When i watch MotoGp i watch it on 2 different streams and 2 seperate monitors, that way if there is any buffering or adverts i watch the other.



.i also advocate putting the kettle on as does my doctor because caffeine stimulates the production of cerebral/spinal fluid.

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)

For some reason in in Chrome the adds are not displayed, but in IE, there is not fricking way to disable those.
