Youtube Adblock video delay

Has Youtube put in place some new code that delays video for people with Adblock installed? I just noticed a couple days ago that some videos are now preceded by a 15 second wait. I see nothing but a black screen with the loading animation. The problem goes away if I log out of my Google/Youtube account.
>>
>>56287136
Not sure, but something has changed on YouTube's side. I can no longer play videos on newpipe and in 75% cases browser YouTube shows a "no supported format" error (phone). No problems on PC though. They're probably trying to kill adblockers.
>>
>>56287136
Probably not, if they want they could just bypass ABP completely with whitelisting and force you to watch the ads. But most people don't block ads so it's not worth it.
Maybe they just changed how something works and ABP is bugged until the next update

>They're probably trying to kill adblockers.
adblocking isn't some 1337h4xor way of beating the system. Killing adblockers is trivial, several sites already do. But only like 5-25% of people use adblockers depending on demographics
>>
>>56287391
>only like 5-25% of people
>only
So if you had a company and lost 5-25% of your customers you wouldn't give a fuck about getting them back?
>>
Now that failbook has done it google will do the same.
>>
>>56287136
So it's not just me who has this problem. I believe that it is the reason why because if I go on chrome which doesn't have the adblocks the videos start loading instantly.
>>
>>56287136
On a side note, use uBlock Origin. Not ABP.
>>
>>56288014
If as a company 25% of clients would suddenly decide to no longer consume advertising of other companies which my company advertised but still use my services - I wouldn't mind.
>>
>>56288014
That's dumb. The company wasn't entitled to that 5-25% revenue anyway. It's like saying every pirated item is a definite lost sale.
>>
>>56287136
>>56288055
Post a link so I can try.
>>
>>56288061
What's your reasoning
>>
>>56288014
1. They're not "customers" they're browsing a site. If they enjoy the site they will talk about it and drive more traffic from other people to it. Most of those people won't use adblock
2. Like I said, killing adblockers on your site is trivial, if they wanted to they would have done it already.

Indeed, but you have the option to remove that bypass if you so desire.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt and tried it, the problem is gone completely with ublock

You'r welcome.

Strange, there must be some other prerequisites to cause it. I'm using cyberfox and if what >>56288430 said has any bearing then it's important to note I'm logged in as well.

>>56288014
People who view the adds are not customers. They're the product. The customers are the ad companies.

Does anybody know how to disable AdBlock just for certain channels on YouTube? I'm on Ublock Origin.
Thanks in advance.

It's 5% in demographics like your parents, for millennials is closer to 50%, in males 18-25 that like videogames is has high as 80%.

Adblocking was okay when it was a weird thing that only nerds using firefox where doing, today it 's a massive problem.

It isn't happening for all videos. It's only ones that are monetized and have 15 second ads playing before them.
>>
>>56287136
You can get them with the ad blocking, but they will get you with the trackers

I don't think any of us are out to "get them." I use Adblock so that I can play videos instantly and without constant popups. It also improves security.

A few years ago, I visited an old website--a website I used to entertain myself before the days of Youtube. They begged that I disable Adblock. I did, and my computer was instantly infected by some malware that used a vulnerability in the Java plugin (that prompted me to drop Java forever).

I don't blame the website that much, but it just goes to show how sketchy ad companies are and how easily their clients (the ad space buyers) can serve up malware. The same thing happened right after Forbes added "adblock-blocking" functionality to their website; one of the ad networks served malware-laced ads to Forbes users immediately after, and many people who disabled their ad blockers were infected.

Ad networks are just too sketchy, and cannot be trusted. It's too easy for an ad-serving client to deliver malicious software through an ad network, and there's no real penalty for doing such. They may get blacklisted by the network, but they can just come back under a different name.
>>
>not using a hosts file

lol, retards
>>
>>56293089
Every-time I land on Forbes, I wait to see if it tells me to disable my add block, when it does this I just leave.
It's not like they have anything that no one else has.
Besides this only happens once every 2 weeks or so.

Fixed it a few minutes after posting, accidentally denied Internet access to media server. I don't watch anything on YouTube often so I didn't notice.

No such problem here.

What is the ideal adblocking solution?

Is it adblock+hostfile patching + DNS level hostfile config?
>>
>>56294036
uBlock Origin is more than enough.
>>
Can someone link me to the technical details of the latest ads that circumvent browser and hostfile based adblockers (iirc didn't sites start to serve ads from their IP ranges so blocking couldn't be done)?

I noticed my mobile hostfile is not blocking certain ads that used to always be blocked before. I want to see if there is a way around this.
Thanks
>>
>>56294044
but what about muh mobile devices?
Is a hostfile patching app still the only choice?
>>
>>56294092
I'm not lazy to search, it's just that for some fucking reason I can not find any technical explanation or the recent articles on it.
>>
>>56294044
do you still need another extension to fool sites that require adblockers to be disabled with Ublock Origin?
>>
>>56288014
If they kick up too much of a fuss about it, the people who don't know about it will discover it
>>
>>56294169

But both uBlock or ABP works in mobile you autist.
>>
>>56294334
only on the web browser
>>
im using ublock and have no problem with youtube or anything
>>
>>56288014
Youtube was free when I started going. I did not agree to watch ads all fucking day. Youtube killed its rivals, sold out to google, and plastered ads everwhere.
I will not be a part of that.

Also as someone else said, fuck these ads on pireted stuff, and all these idiots trying to make a living off of youtube ads and be internet famous need to get a real job.
>tfw you see people making youtube videos and notice an adblock logo in the top right of their own browser
fuck all of them.
>>
>>56293286
>click on article
>oh shit it's forbes
>maybe they won't ask me to disable it this time
>they do
If I forgot what the article was about or I just don't want to waste my time, I'll just leave the page but sometimes I'll disable it.
>>
>>56294973
>please disable ur ads if you liek my content

>>
>>56293152
>not using both a hosts file and ublock origin and umatrix
The hosts file should be the most stable and should block things that are least likely to break a website. Followed by a browser's adblock, then lastly followed by a script blocker like noscript or umatrix.
>>
>>56295000
>>56293286
you can just fool the site into believing you disabled your adblocker with tampermonkey and the right script
>>
>>56290644

You still play, admit it.

>not setting your firewall to block connections to all IP except whitelisted
