SponsorBlock, a crowdsourced browser extension for skipping sponsor segments in YouTube videos, warns that the new experiment will also affect its service, as the additional ad times will offset all the timestamps on YouTube videos.

Some users on Reddit confirm seeing new ads despite using an adblocker, such as uBlock Origin. This latest issue with YouTube ads quickly became the most active thread this month on the uBlockOrigin subreddit.

If true, ad injection means the ad plays as an integrated part of the video stream. According to users on social media platforms, the feature "hijacks" the video player while the ad is playing, preventing them from selecting any point on the timeline during that time. The ability to seek or skip ahead using the arrow keys is also disabled.

Looks like the final solution to the ad blocker problem. Archive any videos from Youtube you're interested in before things get worse

If I find videos I really like on youtube I just download them bc everything is always in danger of being taken down for some stupid reason.
