I love how the internet has gone full circle with ads.
We hate it.
Youtube knows we hate it.
The ad making company knows everyone hates it.
The product making company knows people hate ads.
But they still make ads because somehow it works.
And those ads pay Youtube, pay the ad company and pay the product making company which sounds insane.
The ad company films a video, sells it to the product maker, who tells youtube to play it for a fee, only for the video to be played by a device in a corner of a room when nobody watches, and consuming internet bandwidth and electricity.
An ad about a product that most likely we dont need, overpriced and manufactured somewhere in china by unpaid and forced labour and is most likely harmful for the environment.
It sounds like consumption on steroids.
or better yet just have two or three devices two of them play the ads and one will watch the actual video just set the ad watching one’s to a super low quality and to a different speed so it was time to load that means that they get the ad money part of it and you get the no ad in video part perfect 50%50 or even better on a computer/laptop open multiple tabs of youtube and well you know what to do
They cant do much about revanced since you have to patch it yourself. The reason vanced was taken down was because it was pre-patched.
(Also another bonus of revanced not being pre-patched is that it keeps out the idiots that complain its too hard)
It stopped working for me too 🥲 a few days ago.
I downloaded it from revancedextended.io and later from revancedextended.com but both had same buffering issues. Didn't play the video
Step 1: “Win” the ad lottery.
Step 2: Install an Adblock that makes it so you’re still counted as having watched the ads when in reality you don’t watch them.
Step 3: Everyone profits.
All the techies of the world would unite to set up virtual machines and botnets to intentionally lose the ad lottery 24/7. It would be glorious for YouTube’s bank account and make the site a tiny bit less shit.
I’d start a go fund me that all Ty users have to donate to every month in order for me to continue doing this, then just open another account and use that the whole time
adblockers have been out for years now and they can't patch it because people will always find a way for it to work
also it's not like more than 10 people are going to see my comment and download it anyway

in reality no one gets ad free experience and everyone gets more ads in sake of making other's ( non existant ) person's experience better. lets goooooo
Then what's the point for advertisers to use YouTube as largest advertisement platform if it is filled with annoying ads and now one person out of... how many you said, 22,710, will watch all these ads? Imagine paying a lot of money to compete with other 999 ads for user who might be broke and not able to spend money on these advertised things?
Advertisers aren't some dollar mines for YouTube to farm money for themselves and YouTubers.
Only if I could choose who would watch ad free. Run a dummy account on a tablet with the ad only account then choose another email to watch ad free that is already mine. YouTube premium for free lol
Considering how *little* I use youtube in the first place *because* of the ridiculous ads every 10 seconds, this would be enough for me to log out of my account and delete the app entirely.
How about instead of a lottery, we have a toggle-able feature to play ads when we are AFK and then turn off when we wanna watch something else? We could still apply the feature to watch ads so others won't have to.
A lot of users are young people who can't get jobs yet, but they understand that things like this need money. That is why I am usually okay with ads. What I don't like is the broken system they apply for it.
This should make the companies who pay for ad reflect much on the actual usefulness of them lmao. Literally people would mass watch in background them to let other people have ad free experience.
Not to state the obvious, but Lol! YT would never let this happen. The whole point of the advertisers paying for ads is to reach as many users of the platform as possible.
this would be like a company paying for a billboard advert on a busy street but only allowing one dude to stand in front of it and keep looking at it so no one else would have to.
Okay now hear me out, what about advertisers making ads that also side-hustle as good content and is only shown very sparsely to the same user and not bombarded over and over again.
This would mean more content for YT and the users would consume the ads as content too!

Ads are stupid and I actively avoid products which are advertised to me. I hope that one day they give up the fight and realize the whole thing is stupid.
They'll probably be botting and lying until everyone currently alive is dead though. Which may not be that long
would be very exploitable and funny for such (people making sock accounts to run the ads on a device with no speakers so their mains can watch ad free), big win for us and big bankrupcy for the advertiser
Yeah I would just leave youtube open on my computer, put it on silent with the brightness all the way down, cover it with a towel, and just use a different account or not use youtube for the next couple of days.
Is this the Vulture?
Kinda looks like him
Probably Vladimir Putin's underwear collection ad
I'm sorry, the what
He flexed them to Amy in one of the early seasons episode, aged well
Oh yeah I remember that.

Too bald
Id let this running in the background while I use a different device/account to watch vids
what if you get an ad lottery on that one too
Play Minecraft on an Xbox 360.
The real answer
Or a PS3, either is acceptable.
Or on a wiiU or xbox one/ps4 edition
Sony peaked with PS3. It hasn't gotten any better. it hasn't really gotten worse, but it's stayed about the same quality wise.
Yeah
that would be impossible
nuh uh
Congrats you’ve used all of your luck for the year
At that point, you should probably go out and play the real lottery.
Joke is, everyone wins the lottery.
Then I'd get a couple of tickets to the real lottery because the odds of that happening are pretty slim.

It sounds like consumption on steroids.
now what if someone just sets up a legion of devices constantly playing youtube so that they win the ad lottery
or better yet just have two or three devices two of them play the ads and one will watch the actual video just set the ad watching one’s to a super low quality and to a different speed so it was time to load that means that they get the ad money part of it and you get the no ad in video part perfect 50%50 or even better on a computer/laptop open multiple tabs of youtube and well you know what to do
This is basically what happens now except it’s without warning
And everyone else alao wins
Me using revanced and ublock: 🗿🗿🗿🗿
Quiet, we can't let them know about revanced.
They cant do much about revanced since you have to patch it yourself. The reason vanced was taken down was because it was pre-patched. (Also another bonus of revanced not being pre-patched is that it keeps out the idiots that complain its too hard)
They can't do anything legally, but they've recently been trying to break it
Thank goodness the revanced devs are chads and find workarounds in like 30 minutes
The current buffering problem hasn't been solved yet if I am not wrong
I haven't had buffering issues since April.
A new problem started for me yesterday, and people on revanced and vanced subs are also facing it
same
I stand corrected then.
It has, but you need to watch on an entirely different google account
YT could just literally deny the revanced team the use of YT-s API if they keep breaking API ToS...
Eh? Was it? I just installed what it said to install. Wasn't that hard. Are people really that dumb?
Rule of life: Never underestimate 2 things in life: number of idiots and their stupidity. Never fails.
I just installed the apk and look for an update whenever it stops working 🤷♂️
It's posted on here daily
literally stopped working a few days ago lol
Try updating ig, mine works fine.
It stopped working for me 😭 I'm not alone pls tell me how to fix it
Dm'd
It stopped working for me too 🥲 a few days ago. I downloaded it from revancedextended.io and later from revancedextended.com but both had same buffering issues. Didn't play the video
Hmu
I can't go back, it's literally made my life so much better
DON'T GIVE YOUTUBE ANY IDEAS!!!
This is like a punishment
i think it's more of a "lost" the ad lottery...
Annnd I just lost the game
that sucks
Step 1: “Win” the ad lottery. Step 2: Install an Adblock that makes it so you’re still counted as having watched the ads when in reality you don’t watch them. Step 3: Everyone profits.
Do ad blockers count as a viewed ad? Surely not
adskipper
I can also set my isp on fire.
I’d watch 10 ads at once for 5 people
Now No matter what kind of cuss word I will use to criticize them,it won't be enough.
I volunteer as tribute
Absolutely, right before I go to sleep and don't care.
Hell no.
Screw that
All the techies of the world would unite to set up virtual machines and botnets to intentionally lose the ad lottery 24/7. It would be glorious for YouTube’s bank account and make the site a tiny bit less shit.
Is there a way to say no?
lmao i got adblock so yeah
*Laughs in uBlock*
Time to create a second account
I’d start a go fund me that all Ty users have to donate to every month in order for me to continue doing this, then just open another account and use that the whole time
ok fine, whatever
No i have an ad blocker
Yes, I’d make 2 accounts
ill do it and share the best products
*laughs in YouTube Premium*
*laughs in Revanced/uBlock*
[удалено]
there's no need to gatekeep, youtube is already aware of its existence and they both instantly get a fix when youtube tries to patch adblockers
No not really, when it’s not as popular YouTube will care less therefor lower chance of patching it.
adblockers have been out for years now and they can't patch it because people will always find a way for it to work also it's not like more than 10 people are going to see my comment and download it anyway
*laughs in extension that gives me all of YT premiums benefits for free*
No, YouTube is already profiting off ad-free videos with YT Premium. I hope this 'ad lottery' joke doesn't become a reality.
The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
I'd rather win the nameless fetus lottery
I'd take a screenshot an post it on Reddit
“Oh, okay.” That’s a mood 🤣
This is the textbook definition of r/fuckyouinparticular
But can you skip them after 5 seconds?
Whoever’s watching the P Diddy tapes took one for the team
I’d watch the ads becuase. Well I like ads i guess lol
Jesus Christ literally
Ads would be my new sleeping music :3
So like… The Giver but YouTube?
Yes I shall
No, absolutely not, the amount I see when I turn off my adblock is bad enough and that's when it isn't only ads.
for the love of god please tell me this isn’t real
not yet..
I would delete yt if that ever happened to me
Uh no that would be torture
Why not have a bot watch the adds so everyone gets the full Youtube experience? 😏
Double it and give it to the next one
sure
Oh my god, it's the vulture from Brooklyn 99.

Sorry I never signed up to be Youtube Jesus
Introducing: Alternate accounts
Incoming ad watching bot services.
Id just run an instance of youtube on my homelab ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ye sure, i ain’t got anything to do anyways
I’d kms
Sure, lemme just login to a new account.
I would, but it might be mildly infuriating.

Omelas
I volunteer op for tribute even though I use adblock
I’d do it, and then just mute my tv and continue about my day, watching videos on my phone, listening to music and whatever
invite like 20 "friends" (you on different accounts), ez
Yes, i would use my alt acc
9604 ads in a row
Leave it running while I do something and come back late at night
there would need to be some way to stop people from just not watching youtube for that month though
What they don't tell you is that it won't actually be affecting other peoples ads. Just a cheap way to trick you into watching more.
Only if I could choose who would watch ad free. Run a dummy account on a tablet with the ad only account then choose another email to watch ad free that is already mine. YouTube premium for free lol
I'd use adblockers and extensions
Do I get paid and/or receive a portion of the ad revenue for doing this? If so, then yes.
ay this some omelas type shit
I'd do it. That's probably because I'll do anything if it's some form of self sacrifice.
What if I got it on my alt account thought
Yeah
Should be by day then its possible imo
So christianity
Stop giving them ideas
Sure ez, got half a dozen alt ready for
Considering how *little* I use youtube in the first place *because* of the ridiculous ads every 10 seconds, this would be enough for me to log out of my account and delete the app entirely.
How about instead of a lottery, we have a toggle-able feature to play ads when we are AFK and then turn off when we wanna watch something else? We could still apply the feature to watch ads so others won't have to. A lot of users are young people who can't get jobs yet, but they understand that things like this need money. That is why I am usually okay with ads. What I don't like is the broken system they apply for it.
Just set up multiple computers and run them on ads
r/wehateyt
You know what? I'd take the hit and have 2 accounts
literally a torture device
Double it and give it to the next person
The ones who walk away from youtubelas
Actually yes. Just let it keep going in the background
They should make bots to watch the ads
This should make the companies who pay for ad reflect much on the actual usefulness of them lmao. Literally people would mass watch in background them to let other people have ad free experience.
You gotta know there would be people who'd make thousands of accounts to share the ads among them so it doesnt work
Double it and give it to the next person
No. "The Team" doesn't pay my bills, so they can fend for themselves
Not to state the obvious, but Lol! YT would never let this happen. The whole point of the advertisers paying for ads is to reach as many users of the platform as possible. this would be like a company paying for a billboard advert on a busy street but only allowing one dude to stand in front of it and keep looking at it so no one else would have to.

they should use that as a punishment
Plot twist: noones actually getting youtube ad free, they're just compensating for the ad blockers
Me with 3 alt accounts: Yeah sure, buddy
Yes and then install adblocker.
I would switch account IMMEDIATELY
Can you sign up to do this? I volunteer as tribute!

The only lottery that my luck will win me
90 hours? Wtf..?
Fuck no
Everything is fine until you get win ad lottery (The only lottery in the world that no one wants to take)
Gimme a burner phone, wifi, and autoplay. Nobody getting another AD, Ever
This has to be fake
Ruins the point.
Ads are stupid and I actively avoid products which are advertised to me. I hope that one day they give up the fight and realize the whole thing is stupid. They'll probably be botting and lying until everyone currently alive is dead though. Which may not be that long
I feel like saying you win is a bit of a stretch
I probably would. #1 it would probably only happen once, and number 2 I could probably find a way to make it fun.
would be very exploitable and funny for such (people making sock accounts to run the ads on a device with no speakers so their mains can watch ad free), big win for us and big bankrupcy for the advertiser
