I often see the sentiment that YouTube and adblockers will be forever locked in a cat-and-mouse game. However, for many years now, Twitch has entirely eliminated adblocking on desktop web.

What is stopping YouTube from replicating Twitch’s advertising strategy of embedding ads directly into their videos?

I'm not OP and I don't understand a thing but ironically Ublock blocked me from opening that link

Yeah re-vanced and their affiliate urls got tossed into a few blocklists annoyingly.

Well revanced.net isn't the official website. It's revanced.app. Don't download random apks being branded as revanced.
