YouTube has been spotted testing server-side ads, which could pose a problem to ad blockers.

And that’s when I moved to Invidious and haven’t looked back

What makes you think they won't block them or force ads to them as well?

You do know that Invidious is still YouTube, right?

It’s an open source front end to youtube, yes. So no ads on the sidebar, no bullshit about logging in, no garbage algorithm to be harassed by.

And no commercials yet. If YT streams the ads and invidious doesn’t block them and adblocker doesn’t block them and PiHole doesn’t block them, I will not watch them.

Death to Advertisement.

I'll download it so I can skip the bullshit if it comes down to it.
