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 don't use Twitch because it's an absolute garbage platform, but what in the fuck ads are you talking about? Maybe YOU lost the ad block fight, lol. What ad blocker are you even using?

I love the confidence here after stating you don't use Twitch. Twitch changed the way they deliver in stream ads, it's much more difficult to block now because it comes in as part of the video stream and not something added on top.

Every day this place becomes more like Reddit

Eh, Lemmy turned into another reddit months ago when reddit banned third-party apps. Any changes since then are insignificant in comparison.
