Make the ad inject a random UI element that the server knows. Use JS to AJAX call to detect it. If not there, no video.

E: Actually, that could be defeated. Nevermind.

This.

Everyday youtube begs me for money.

Everyday they treat me like a mortal enemy

Not only is their ad-free service expensive which no one with a brain should pay, jewtube regularly censors my non-political comments and it seems like it's random too from a bot just so they can say it's not targeted and play dumb about it.

They're planning on randomized server-side injections into the stream. The only possible counter to that would be to preload a video through another party that uses AI to remove the ads. That's time, processing, and data intensive. You can twiddle your thumbs as you wait for your video to be scrubbed.

Best to see this as a blessing in disguise and hope these fucksticks hang themselves with their greed.

Rumble is in the best shape to take the market for general content. It could and should be viable if youtube continues pissing people off. Bitchute cucked out. The LBRY blockchain-based network that powers Odysee is a good proof of concept for better projects in the future. The network is sluggish though, Odysee's UI is kinda crap, and I don't trust its creator. It's still worth keeping an eye on from a technical standpoint.

The other alternatives are either almost as bad as youtube, or not equipped to handle a youtube exodus. I remember when Tim from Military Arms Channel started Full30 in attempt to get guntubers to migrate. He was fairly successful in that regard and a lot of major channels joined, but normie users were stubborn and frankly, the site sucked nads.
