A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If they inject it into the main stream itself is it possible to block it? I don't really see how.
well some countries legally have no ads and you could vpn to them specifically for the video fetching part and get the adfree version. alternatively things like maybe an AI powered sponsorblock extension could be created in response
