    It’s more complicated, but you can still use crowd-sourcing to recognize the ads. Then use an algo to analyze the ad, frame by frame, and reject that when it shows up.

    It’ll take a bit of time, but their strategy isn’t going to last. It’s ‘arms-race’ style escalation on a digital front. Eventually, the crowd sourcing will be replaced by AI/ML tools. Ad companies, like google, will always try to fight back, but open-source will always respond.

    You can’t beat nerds that are skilled and passionate about not getting fucked.

        Already happening, sort of. Google allows companies to upload sets of headlines, images, and descriptions, then Google’s system mashes them together and tests them to find the best combos. It’s not full AI, but considering some companies doing this are probably AI-generating the input, it’s getting close. I wouldn’t imagine it’ll be too long until Google does it for you.

      When programmers with ADHD/Autism get interrupted from a fixation (like a video), suppressing that interruption, even if unproductive or unimportant, becomes their new fixation.

      I’ve been guilty of this many times, for better or worse.

        I feel personally attacked by this comment.

        I spent like 8 hours yesterday figuring out how to install viewtube on my NAS because I got the YouTube Adblock warning on my iPad.

      AI ad block. The AI watches (or just parses the to the audio transcription) the video before you and can mark when and where to skip from and to. With these 40TOPs machines that could be possible.
