Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with double serving ads earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.
Yeah, normal YouTube is totally unwatchable. If you have a Roku device, the Playlet app can let you watch without ads. There are probably methods for other devices too.
Holy shit this is the first I’ve heard of Playlet. Giving it a go now and it’s already impressive.
Sure, after you’ve waded through the swamp of Roku ads, you could get an adfree youtube experience with that
I dunno, all I see on Roku is an image banner on the home screen. I never even look at it.
