Been seeing this crop up on Twiddur throughout the day. I think the response from YT support was just a form letter and not related to the ad itself or the use or not of ad blockers - if anything, if this kind of thing were to become normalized, one could imagine it'd only cause more people to want to use blockers, so I'm betting Google is going to shut this down ASAP and set a max limit on the length of videos that can be unskippable (I'm surprised they didn't have one already).
It definitely feels like an oversight, that's letting people run their video essays etc. as advertisements to farm watch time from Smart TV users who just leave YouTube on in the background while they do other shit. It's just that having their comment on the story being an automated FAQ response about an unrelated issue tells me they have no intention to actually fix it.

YouTube now appears to be running unskippable 60+ minute advertisements as some kind of punishment for using adblock(?), as spotted by Kiwi Farms user Relinquish.

Youtube rep actually came out and denied that it is a thing. The guy used some really shitty adblock. Then send an email to youtube and get an automated message and kick up a fuss about it.

What really happened is that, let's say OP used an adblock called "AdblockOriginPlusGalaxyUltra", AdblockOrigin+GalaxyS51ultra failed to block the ad, but actually managed to block the "skip ads" button since it is an external pop-up. So now OP is stuck without the ability to skip it. Youtube didn't punish people for using adblock. People punish themselves for using shitty adblock.

Like this guy who punished himself for buying a macbook and ran into the same issue. With some really weird blue "skipping ads..." pop-up in the bottem left that I'm 100% sure is not from ublock. Edit: actually Ublock doesn't even work with safari lulmao. Imagine being an apple sheep.

Just stick with ublock until manifestv3 actually do something (it has been like a year now and it hasn't done shit) and you will be fine. And don't ever buy a mac.

Btw I actually started paying premium now, it's dirt cheap in here (like $4 a month) and it actually pays your creator when you watch a stream/video with premium. You can probs get it for cheap if you want to. It doesn't require faking IP or any of that jazz, some indian guy will add you to their Google family, buy the family pack (along with 5 other customers) and get you 1 year premium for like 20 bucks. That's it. Just need to find them, probs they are all over facebook market place or something.

Idol Corp has an online concert announced for tomorrow and the next two days. This is headlined by the three Idol Corp: Encore girls, who each have an original song coming out for the concert, and each girl has three supporting artists each day from both Idol Corp and indies or other small corpos, like Serina from V4 Mirai and Himemiya Rie from Phase Connect.

Did Brave buy Idol Corp believing that the "Idol" part was serious and is now dumping money into it to make it so after Aviel ran away laughing?

Probably... no matter how shrewd Brave's people are, the jews are kings of the hustle and the nips have always had a -100 intelligence debuff when having to deal with anything foreign.

:pankosmug:

Management straight up said to her that they thought Niji EN (We're talking pre-rock bottom reputation here) wasn't worth doing big brand deals with.

Well, if that isn't a self-own, I don't fucking know what is. :gigilaugh::Vesper-UNHINGED::dokibirdWhat:
"We aren't gonna grow the brand because it isn't big enough"
What kind of pea-brain move is this? I get shit like "Upper management is afraid of getting sued so that shit ain't happening" but why would you ever kneecap yourself on purpose when there was no downside to it??
100% agreed.

This is the same management who asks in the talent interview "how do you plan on competing with Gawr Gura?"

It's self evident that in order to make it big you have to act big. Tripping over their own feet is very NijiEN of them.

Is this someone people know? I've been looking around and I can barely find anything about this person other than they used to work at twitch and Vshojo?
I'm asking because this model is insanely complex for someone just starting out and both Gigi and Kirsche are following him(?)

Edit: He's also a small time streamer on twitch but hasn't streamed in almost half a year and he also apparently created reactive for discord which apparently helps vtubers show others models when they collab or at the very least their PNG's

774inc's Seshima Rui has been singing for over 8 hours to reach 50k subs.

Do have a listen and subscribe if you like her singing.

Today Choco-sensei is having three guests for dinner.

Debi, Rion, and Patra will enjoy some Soufle pancakes.

Re:AcT's Sumeragi Rose released a cover song earlier today in the dead of night.


RK Music's XIDEN released a song an hour ago.


Tenkai Tsukasa's Shinki Mahjong League is not happening this year.

Looks like it takes a lot of money and effort for him to hold it yearly.
