It is definitely possible to almost eliminate ad-blocking on KZread website. Google could, for instance embed ads directly into videos and/or add a million checks. The use of intrusive techniques may annoy tech-savvy users but they probably don’t like being forced to see ads anyway. I don’t think people would want to pirate KZread videos so that don’t see a 15-second ad.

​@@siliconhawk9293 You don't necessarily need to render the \*entire* video. If I'm correct, some video platforms serve their videos in chunks - so once you get to a certain part of the video, the client will then request the next chunk of the video. In this case, you could send the ad as it's own chunk, but send the same response data as you would for normal chunks of the video. Of course, ad blockers might then start keeping a database of video data for known chunks containing ads. The solution to this might be to add a bit of static fuzz or white noise to some of the frames, meaning the video data for that ad is a bit difference. Yes, this would mean that you would have to do a bit of rendering - but you would only need to do so every few hours, as you can send the chunk with white noise to many users before the ad blocker updates it's data base (and the client fetches the new ad blocking database). The server would likely spend far more work processing new actual video uploads (things like compressing the video) then having to occasionally add white noise to an ad to throw off ad blockers. Of course, I could be completely wrong.

Honestly? If Google is indeed following this approach, that is making ads less and less intrusive and annoying... that is a move that I welcome. The very point of an adblocker is to get rid of ads that are ANNOYING, obtrusive... ones that ruin your browsing experience. If they can (and it seems so) tone it down to a level that it's almost invisible, or at least not annoying, then by all means, that is a far more welcome approach.

Google is planning on removing manifest v2 in favor of v3. Manifest v3 will severely limit all adblockers since v3 doesn't allow for extensions to check urls which is something that all adblockers use to block ads.

I've never understood the ad model. For me the best way to convince me to not buy a product is to show me how much money they're willing to waste convincing me to buy a product instead of applying that money to product development. I understand that they need to inform people that they have a product to sell, but I only need to see the ad for it once, not 10 times an hour every hour. Also if I'm convinced that I want something I saw in an ad I'll preferentially get the cheaper genaric version of it because I don't support wasting money on ad's

Ublock origin is the GOAT

My only complain to google is the double ads at the start of a video in KZread, that's the reason I started using ad blocks. I felt like it has gone is too far

I believe in being fair: If a website provides me with valuable content and only shows a few discreet ads at the side of the page, I disable ABP for that site. If everyone blocks all ads, we'll lose most of our favourite sites. Simple.

This video uses the term "adblock" to mean the actual extension with that name, and ad blockers in general. Google pays Adblock to whitelist their ads, but that is also the reason Adblock is not the recommended ad blocked to use, Ublock Origin is. It makes it sound like Google is happy you are blocking ads, and then gives arguments that only apply to Adblock, not ad blocking (with ad blockers that actually work), along with arguments that actually apply to all ad blockers, but that's not interchageable.

Those are the very worst ads for me. I would have minded ads a lot less if they did not exist. Currently I _finally_ have enough money that I can afford KZread Premium without going broke, so that creators on KZread can be paid despite my multiple layers of ad blockers. I wish a similar system existed that could be spread across all the other sites I visit. I cannot afford a subscription for every small site I visit for a bit, and am not willing to be harassed and brainwashed by ads, but would be happy to pay a decent sized blanket payment for everything as long as I can afford it.

The only people who care about adblock are the PC users and that takes a minority now within the grand audience, so changing things related to adblock isn't going to make more money compared to algorithms + watch time. It's priority is far down the list.

I mean, there are ways to get youtube app with adblock on mobile. It's just that you have to be slightly more tech savvy than for an ad block extension

>( unable to use adblock ) My Android tablet and phone have no problem with blocking ads on KZread.

As of today, KZread just gave me a message that I violated terms and conditions. And no videos would payback unless I disabled the AdBlocker

I disagree that Google's main objective is attention. They only want to not lose attention because diverting attention to competitors can indirectly drop their own ad revenues... so their goal is still the ad revenues. They also have a side-goal of supporting government propaganda and corporatist government with censorship. I've been very confused as to why Google would allow something that blocks their own ads in their own app store for a long time. This makes sense now! Good explanation!

The censorship is getting insane now. Lots are now changing to less censored search engines.

I'm starting to love this channel more and more, My brain is completely in sync with the channel name "Logically Answered". Great Work Sir.

This is such an interesting analysis. Thank you for the video

Honestly, considering their overwhelming market share in internet browsing, eliminating the little competition they had in online advertisement is VERY Smart.

I've been an avid Adblock user for years. It's one of the greatest possible improvements to the browsing experience.

Very unlikely, Google is actively trying to get around adblocking without getting negative publicity.

Simply put, the risk of malware by ads is still there. So ad blockers still have purpose.

That's definitely an important purpose to be sure (and its why I refuse to turn off adblock even for websites I'd really like to support - can't trust the advertisers). But its hardly the only - or even main - purpose. The main purpose is to deal with those pages that fill 80% of the screen real estate with ads to the point where you have trouble even finding the tiny frame where the actual content resides. And then when you do find an ad that interests you, you click on it and you're directed to another page full of ads trying to upsell you 17 other products and once you sift through that mess you discover they pulled a fast food burger trick on you - the ad looks fantastic but when you get to the actual purchase page it becomes obvious that they're just selling crap. (Goes back to not being able to trust the advertisers again. For a less nefarious reason this time, but no less annoying.) I mean you've never really been able to trust advertisers whether its in magazines and newspapers or on billboards or on TV or now on the internet. But the relatively low cost of internet advertising combined with ad platforms' sometimes-lax verification practices when onboarding advertising partners and well.. adblock or similar is all but necessary for anyone who spends more than a few minutes a day online.

its so satisfying to watch this video with adblocker XD

03:08 google pays apple to keep using google search engine on safari, same goes with for samsung and it mobile search app. and google now introduced the manifest V3 which will make it impossible to adblockcs to stop "some" ads, Mozila promised to keep support for it. Nice vid though

I have been using adblockers for years. I absolutely hate ads. When DVR was new, it was an amazing feeling to be able to fast forward through the commercials to continue watching my favorite shows. I rarely if ever watched them live from that day forward. I had even gone as far as to pirate some shows if I was forced to watch them without the ability to fast-forward (I'm looking at you, Comcast on-demand).

Great video, interesting subject. I like these kind of video's, where you wouldn't have otherwise thought too much into it.

[laughs in KZread Revanced]

You are right. I hate ads. I would 100% not use chrome if it didn't block ads. It would also make me not want whatever product if they had ads. Automatic turn off.

I like that AdBlock has an option for you to allow ads on specific KZread channels. If I'm just jumping around from video to video, channel to channel, obviously I don't want to be inundated with ads, but if it is someone I'm subscribed to and really enjoy, I can give them the ad revenue support. It's nice to have the option. :)

do u think opera gx has this option because i myself am a content creator so i can understand how important ad revenue is to some people and not just that KZread rn puts ads even on those videos the channels which do not even have 500+ subs, basically every video u click will have ads irrespective of whether the channel is monetised or not, and this issue is much more severe on mobile than pc i think Basically, my point is, KZread is showing more ads solely for their revenue, not just for the content creators

Another great video brother!! Have a great weekend!!

Yes they are

I'm glad they allow adblockers to some extent. Those Forex or Day trader commercials were extremely annoying.

I use adblock everywhere. I even Uninstaller the youtube app and use youtube through Firefox browser so I felt called out when you mentioned it 😂

Well, this did not age well

aged like milk

I use ad block on my computer. I also have an app that automatically skips ads when the 3 seconds is up on mobile KZread. In the past I used a 3rd party version of the KZread app that blocked ads, let me listen to music with the screen off and much more. I also rooted one of my old phones and installed a phone level ad block that blocked almost everything, everywhere on the phone. I guess you can say I have a history of not wanting to see ads.

Great video as always 🎉🎉

If this is true, then Google is most likely very angry with KZread recent stance against AdBlock

KZread is a child of Google

Aged like milk

One thing that I've definitely noticed of late is that most of the ads I see unless I'm deliberately spiting the metrics somehow are things that I might plausibly have wanted to see. I search for food on my phone and I see food. Sure, some of the venues might not be great and many of them probably paid to be shown to me, but when it's the middle of a workday my hatred of the tech business empires is a distant, abstract thing and the fact that I want to find somewhere to get lunch is very close indeed.

Gotta love that feedback noise in the background

They are taking steps though. Quite severe steps. The new upcoming chrome version will severely break adblockers under the guise of "increased privacy". The update haven't rolled out yet, but when it does and its indeed as bad as some people claim; I might have to switch to firefox.

I use it but KZread is whitelisted. Partly because some ads are actually entertaining on their own. I also don't mind for things actually relevant to me. Unfortunately Google's algorithm seems to screw up that part constantly.

I can't remember the last time I got a relevant ad on KZread. I like movies, videogames, tv shows, and the occasional "as seen on tv" type product. That doesn't seem that out of the question, right? What do I get? Manscaping (don't shave), wireless earbuds (literally never found a pair of earbuds that fit both my misshapen ear canals), tiktok (I refuse to willingly download CCP spyware), metaverse (why on earth is that even a thing), food delivery apps (if I'm not cooking I want to actually go out to eat), air b&b and similar (I prefer hotels and motels), cell phone providers (while I enjoy Ryan Gosling and Mint Mobile, I'm happy with my coverage), mobile phone "games" (sarcasm quotes because they are hardly games), and all sorts of things that I don't want. I honestly don't know how half of a movie or games budget can go to marketing because I literally don't see advertisements for the movies and games.
