YouTube has found a new way to bypass ad blockers by integrating ads directly into video content via "server-side ad insertion," complicating the detection and blocking of ads. How will ad blockers respond?

    I’m using lemmy right now and it’s not ad supported and I’m not the product.

    It’s always weird to me when people post on lemmy and just assert something that implies lemmy is impossible, bro your using it right now!

      LOL I donate to my instance, “bro.” Lemmy costs money. You’re just freeloading for the moment.

        yeah, the admin of the instance chose to do so, they often accept donations, so you can stuff money there if you feel like it.

        I’m not getting a “free lunch” the instance admin is giving me a free lunch at their own expense, and being compensated in other manners.
