YouTube has been spotted testing server-side ads, which could pose a problem to ad blockers.

See all comments

well, i would never even think of using it for music (except downloading what i cant find) same with spotify (i hate streaming). I just watched regular videos, which I just suddenly don't do anymore, I started binging TV shows instead, -no ads .

I just couldn't bare the ads, they're that bad. and when I think of stuff that makes me mad, I can't do anything associated with it, I.e. watch YouTube -know there will be ads (or not, because i have an adblocker) the mere thought that there WOULD be ads is so annoying to me, that I cannot stand watching YouTube.

but yeah back to the point, TV shows, and books, especially books have been my replacement, and I must say, they are much better.

What do you mean by “regular videos”?

Not music videos.
