Well currently they're delaying the video start by the time it would have taken the ad to play. It's still better than having to actually watch ads, but blockers are not in the best position right now.
That’s what they say but not what I’m experiencing. Either way, blank screen is better than ads
Sports fans know well. Streams that just cut to silence instead of showing ads are so much better. Commercials just enrage me.
Same here. They really underestimate how much more annoying ads are
