I get it, no one likes ads on youtube. But, you realize that they have to pay the people that are producing content as well as pay for the storage space to gold all of this content. Why does everyone think that can just be free?

Will someone think off the multi billion dollar company? Anyone? They need to make the bottom line.
It does, two on the barrel and on on the top. for me currently it acts as a mouse in Gnome and in krita it acts like a stylus with pressure and everything. My model number is the Dell Active Pen PN579X. it can switch between wacom and Microsoft protocols so it will also work on my Surface.
Nobody expects it to be free. But it used to operate with far less intrusive ads. Also, people didn't use ad blockers until they got worse.
The demise of Youtube begins
there is a plugin I bought, it's community driven where you can tag sections of the video as ad, sponsored, etc, and auto skip it. it's really nice, was like $5. will post when I find the link, but even if ads are server side, this plugin will skip. someone has to bite the bullet though and tag time stamps unfortunately.
found it, called dearrow, also changed clikcbait thumbnails and titles are editable by community.
dearrow sponsorblock will not work anymore
I know, I realized after I posted. but still a cool plugin.
That assumes every ad is exactly the same (or at least the same length) and at the same spot for every user.
Pre roll and post roll ads would be pretty easy to detect since the length of the actual video is fixed. Mid roll ads though will need something more clever.
yeah, I realized it after posting. I don't see ads, I use it to block sponsored stuff and forgot about injected ads. still a great plugin.
