Will it affect projects like yt-dlp, Invidious, or Piped? It seems like they are going to put ads into actual video streams, so yt-dlp might download a video with ads injected?
- AndrewDavis 2y agoPossible. That's not uncommon for podcasts. Subscribe to an RSS feed and when you download the file the server based on some heuristic (I'm guessing most geo ip) sends you a file with ads targeted for you.
- Boltgolt 2y agoDefinitely geo ip, if you listen to a lot of podcasts it might be worth it to only download them through a VPN from a very small country: Very few companies advertise there so there are no ads to inject, effectively having adblock
- cuu508 2y agoDetecting these in-stream ads is perhaps finally a good use case for AI ;-)
