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?

    Yep, if you see the popups just refresh your filter lists and restart. Longest I’ve had to wait is about an hour for a fix, and that was a while back. Fixes seem to be coming much faster now as more people are watching this.
