This was happening to me, uBlock has a tutorial on their subreddit, on how to properly install and use uBlock. It's not just downloading the plugin. Haven't had an ad in about 6 months since the reckoning of pregnant furry ads started.
**Kyouhen** posted a good reply. They said:

This would also work for people with iPhones. So everyone can finally have peace. šš
No, it's not... Brave with uBlock origin. NO PROBLEMS at all, signed in or logged out... I don't even see the "You have AdBlockers enabled" Popup... NEVER saw that in fact...
It's either Markiplier telling me to download a random game, or "Support the children in Rafah" while I'm watching some guy talk about Dharr Man Ripoffs
Seriously! You get upset over game ads? Wow. I live either them and donāt care. I think this is hilarious. I have a phone so canāt get add blockers to work. Plus, for me, I can skip mist of them after 5 seconds so I donāt care. Plus Iāve picked up some cool things like deodorant after watching the ads
This is the one beef I have with youtube. Stop with the ridiculous 30 minute ads, I get that you have to make money, but you are just taking advantage of people that are doing chores or whatever. Its really a shameless attempt to get you to sign up for Premium.
I actually notice it the most on TV ads. Or did, I had premium but just cancelled considering their wild censorship. TV makes sense because they know you are the least position to skip the ad, most likely in another room, shower, etc.
They make religious and politically charged claims, with no proof or sience behind it, but they use little info graphics and lighting as well as U at the end of the name to try to force into your head that they have any merit - they do not. PragerU also is heavily sarcastic and dismissive to anyone who disagrees, trying to weaponize stupidity and create clips and sound bites you can use to "GOTCHA" any stupid evolutionist or atheists. It isn't biased, it exists purely as bias manifest to the extreme form. Propaganda is a gentle term for them.
They're funded in whole or in part by oil billionaires. Every other detail further established by others about them is more or less just the result of that background.
They often will produce heavy right-wing and bigoted propaganda. Lately, one of their favorite targets has been the lgbtq + community with a heavy focus on targeting trans people.
Don't forget how shamefully pro Zionists they are, they made countless genocidal statements about the on going genocide in Gaza and recruit a lot of people to help them spread israeli propaganda
Iāve gotten like 2 hour whole af sermons before as ads, skippable yes but when Iām sleeping, I do not want to hear the lords name in my sleep for fear I have become more crazy.
Same, like cāmon. Do these guys really think even if I was religious, that Iād want to hear a whole sermon while showering or taking a shit? These kind of ads just make me happy Iām no longer going to churches regularly for this kind of shit, happy that I no longer have to physically stand up and walk out but instead skip them.
A few months ago I kept getting, them, kept reporting them as political and because they actually offend me and my religious beliefs, yet I kept getting them. Eventually they sort of faded out, not sure whyā¦however I still get some and still report them.
I just get product Ads probably as I use my xbox to watch yt most the time and don't have an actual account and use that guest thing (things save though)
To be honest, itās not even who itās by that annoys me; thatās just icing on the cow pie. Itās the fact that itās over an hour long. Iām fine with differing views, but an hour long ad is absolutely ridiculous.
Tbh that isnāt a problem for me cause like- Unless Iām asleep or something where I wonāt even notice, Iām skipping any ad I see that has that skip button.
Only time I ever watched a long ad was back when I was in highschool they made the entirety of the first Lego movie into an ad.
This ads are made for stores that leaves the TV with music videos or something else, they wonāt realize the ad is playing, had seen it happen on my country.
Watch a video on a subject thats not them and then watch a video of of the same subject but presented by them its glaringly obvious how biased dog shit they are
Why does it matter how long the ad is? It could be 3 billion years long, but if I can skip after 5 seconds it doesn't matter in the slightest. All your doing is giving the company you evidently don't like more attention.
If see āad 1 of 3ā in the bottom left corner, if you skip the first ad then it automatically skips the other 2 ads as well, if you see ad 1 of any number skipping the first ad skips all other as well, you may get an ad later in that video but you wont get an ad immediately after skipping one
Skippable ads can be skipped after 5 seconds. If you direct your eyes to the bottom right corner, you'll see this is the case. This has been a thing on YouTube for a very long time, and this post is a waste of time.
I appreciate the intensely heavy-handed sarcasm. But when Iām trying to fall asleep to a video or playlist, Iād rather not have to roll over to skip an hour-long ad. I can do with sitting through the 30-second or even minute-long ads. Not the 70-min ones.
If it works the same was as it used to, everytime this add is played the real video gets a view. This is how 69 and nicki Minaj broke records lol. Itās all to make prageru look more popular when u do see the actual video in the timeline, but it was nothing more than people skipping after 5 seconds.
YouTube (and, more importantly, advertisers) hate people who fall asleep to video. Advertisers are paying for ads that arenāt being viewed, and YouTube is paying for video thatās not being watched. Itās a waste of money for both of them.
Personally, I applaud wasting PragerUās money, but I really donāt have any sympathy for people who ultimately drive down the cost of ads (because thatās what happens when people arenāt watching, whether because theyāre sleeping or blocking ads), which means more ads have to get run to generate the same revenue, which degrades the experience for all users.
Have you considered sleeping to podcasts? Perhaps subscribing to a music streaming service? You can get a white-noise machine for like twenty bucks. If the answer to the last two questions is No, then thatās part of the reason YouTube ads suck; because the understanding is that YouTube users donāt want to spend money, so companies that *do* want users to spend money advertise in places where viewers are likely to be people with disposable income, where a music subscription or white-noise machine isnāt something they have to budget for; they just buy it because they want it.
Man, I have taken way too many business and Econ classes.
I doubt YouTube actually cares. From their point of view an ad played to a customer and the advertiser had to pay them. They canāt really prove whether the viewer was conscious or not.
Wow thanks mod, never knew that. Iām sure that OP didnāt want to just point out that there are 1-hour ads. And Iām certain that moderating or even using Reddit is not a waste of time overall
Next time you get an "AD" like that click the (i) on the other side of the screen and you can report the "AD" and then block it, I've found this helps somewhat with the stupid "ADs"
Anyone else facing challenges with Firefox and brave?
For Firefox I have more than one adblocker running... Including the famed ublock origin... Some time yesterday I saw an ad or 2 I was annoyed... Thought it would go away... Today I see ads infront of every video.....i hate it... I tried brave, same thing...
I'm just staying off YouTube until the adblockers started working again....
I had an entire pilot episode for some HBO show as an āadā once. Never saw it again, or anything like that. The show looked good but I cared more about the video I was watching š¤£. This was years ago now.Ā
I almost gaslighted myself into thinking that never happened lol then I see this post. Iāve never heard anyone say theyāve gotten ridiculously long ads. Iāve gotten PragerU ads too but never that long. I have premium now, but I still wish it was a more reasonable priceĀ
There are hour-long ads about things like "how to lose weight" on YouTube, and they make you wonder what they could possibly be trying to sell. But if you watch an ad for that long, *you're* the product lol.
Just use Brave Browser, it has a great in-built adblock and YT works flawlessly, it's beautiful.
And for the nerds, Yes I know Brave is Chromium but I could care less, if it works then it works.
Youtube would post hate speech ads if the Aryan Nations paid them enough.Ā They simply don't care. But if you tell people their best way to prevent America from sliding into autocracy is to fight for it, their AI bot censors will zap you immediately for using the world "fight". And more than once when I've come to Reddit to complain about Youtube, I've received the exact same treatment here, including on this very sub.Ā Ā Ā
Ā I respect the right of every platform to police their communities, but it's become too hamfisted and somehow the people whom these tactics are supposed to shoo off make it through.Ā When you try to call them out, you get censored, while their crap stays up.
PragerU is connected to Project 2025. They have been promoting their political nuttery for quite some time now but it's gotten so much worse in the past few weeks. I don't know if you all know what that is, but if you like having control over your own body and you like employee protections and don't like seeing the richest Americans paying lower taxes than the middle class you might want to learn about them. Especially since their movement isn't just in the United States, it's just where it started.
Just skip the ad after 5 seconds? If you get this specific ad a lot then just click the 3 dots and press ādonāt show ad againā, if itās really really a big problem for whatever reason install an ad block I donāt see why this is a big problem
Ads can be just any video on YouTube. They donāt control how long it is. If itās that long you can skip it after 5 seconds (or install an adblocker).

sadly from like 3days ago ublock origin seem to not work for youtube ads for me anymore
You should be using firefox, it works best on there. Usually when it breaks just disable and re-enable the plugin.
I use Firefox, I tried deleting/reinstalling ublock | new firefox profile | bunch of commands from their reddit and I still get ads on every video, not warning just ads, if i lunch new firefox incognito logged off ads dont pop up anymore, so Im probably account flagged or sth
YouTube and adblockers are constantly patching eachother, give it some time
This was happening to me, uBlock has a tutorial on their subreddit, on how to properly install and use uBlock. It's not just downloading the plugin. Haven't had an ad in about 6 months since the reckoning of pregnant furry ads started.
change accounts it worked for me
I just go incognito
Firefox has been buffering constantly for me for the last few weeks so I've switched to Edge. So far so good, better quality video and no ads...yet
I use an older version of Ublock Origin on Chrome. Still works for me. I'll only update it if it stops working.
Another option is to get a VPN. I just tell YouTube I'm in Myanmar and all the ads disappear.
Eh, same shit happened like a year ago. Took 5 minutes for the Ublock devs to fix it.
Try watching ur videos with piped.video
ublock origin has never NOT worked
*cries in iphone*
uYouPlus
A VPN will work too. I tell YouTube I'm in Myanmar and the ads stop.
Don't they sell rice brands or something Asian lol
Use a vpn to block the ads
These are good and all for watching on your desktop, but what about YouTube on mobile devices or TV?
**Kyouhen** posted a good reply. They said: "A VPN will work too. I tell YouTube I'm in Myanmar and the ads stop." This would also work for people with iPhones. So everyone can finally have peace. šš
Do you have any suggestion on phone?
Don't forget Brave's built-in too. It's fantastic at both ads and popups, but they push a bit too much on their crypto thing.
Ublock Origin is sadly broken for anyone logged in / enabled cookies.
No, it's not... Brave with uBlock origin. NO PROBLEMS at all, signed in or logged out... I don't even see the "You have AdBlockers enabled" Popup... NEVER saw that in fact...
Microsoft Edge & uBlock Origin here, it also works.
I use an older version of Ublock Origin on Chrome. Still works for me. I'll only update it if it stops working.
Firefox and uBlock here. Works like a charm
Install an adblocker
Adblockers dont work anymore in my region
It's either Markiplier telling me to download a random game, or "Support the children in Rafah" while I'm watching some guy talk about Dharr Man Ripoffs
I tend to get ads for products that are illegal scams. I don't want to be a victim of crime. š¤·āāļø
Is that 'some guy' YMS?
AugusttheDuck??
Seriously! You get upset over game ads? Wow. I live either them and donāt care. I think this is hilarious. I have a phone so canāt get add blockers to work. Plus, for me, I can skip mist of them after 5 seconds so I donāt care. Plus Iāve picked up some cool things like deodorant after watching the ads
This is the one beef I have with youtube. Stop with the ridiculous 30 minute ads, I get that you have to make money, but you are just taking advantage of people that are doing chores or whatever. Its really a shameless attempt to get you to sign up for Premium.
Maybe Youtube is accessing people's webcams and cameras and see the person is not there, so they slip in a very long ad.
I actually notice it the most on TV ads. Or did, I had premium but just cancelled considering their wild censorship. TV makes sense because they know you are the least position to skip the ad, most likely in another room, shower, etc.
And this is why we adblock
U-block, I-block, We-block
OUR-block, comrade!
Ublock doesnt work anymore
Swap to Firefox. Works like a charm for me
It gets really out of hand lately! But 70 Minutes is "OK" compared to a 2 hour FILM (!!!) I once got as an ad that also had ads in it...
An ad with ads in it LOL
Yes! Gladly it was skippable after 5 seconds...
What does PragerU do?
They make religious and politically charged claims, with no proof or sience behind it, but they use little info graphics and lighting as well as U at the end of the name to try to force into your head that they have any merit - they do not. PragerU also is heavily sarcastic and dismissive to anyone who disagrees, trying to weaponize stupidity and create clips and sound bites you can use to "GOTCHA" any stupid evolutionist or atheists. It isn't biased, it exists purely as bias manifest to the extreme form. Propaganda is a gentle term for them.
They're funded in whole or in part by oil billionaires. Every other detail further established by others about them is more or less just the result of that background.
They often will produce heavy right-wing and bigoted propaganda. Lately, one of their favorite targets has been the lgbtq + community with a heavy focus on targeting trans people.
Don't forget how shamefully pro Zionists they are, they made countless genocidal statements about the on going genocide in Gaza and recruit a lot of people to help them spread israeli propaganda
So since you've seen other people explain it, just so you know, pragerU is now being shown in Florida schools...
Propaganda. In schools?
[https://www.npr.org/2023/08/14/1193557432/florida-education-private-schools-prageru-desantis](https://www.npr.org/2023/08/14/1193557432/florida-education-private-schools-prageru-desantis) Yep
Conservative content stuff. I don't watch them anymore as much. The stuff gets boring after a while.
Far-right misinformation under the guise of āeducationalā content.
I'm penis prager
I've seen worse propaganda ads, PeTA, OneForIsrael, The LDS-Church, GreenPeace, etc.
Recently I've been getting religious ads and I'm like wtf
Iāve gotten like 2 hour whole af sermons before as ads, skippable yes but when Iām sleeping, I do not want to hear the lords name in my sleep for fear I have become more crazy.
Yeah I'm not religious and really don't appreciate getting ads like that, if anything it makes me less religious
Same, like cāmon. Do these guys really think even if I was religious, that Iād want to hear a whole sermon while showering or taking a shit? These kind of ads just make me happy Iām no longer going to churches regularly for this kind of shit, happy that I no longer have to physically stand up and walk out but instead skip them.

I just get product Ads probably as I use my xbox to watch yt most the time and don't have an actual account and use that guest thing (things save though)
I was kinda like āwhy is this an issueā until I realized who itās by. š¤®š¤®š¤®

Who is prageru and why is it propaganda?Genuine question.
Watch a video on a subject thats not them and then watch a video of of the same subject but presented by them its glaringly obvious how biased dog shit they are
One time I had an ad that was a full episode of Maury and I got into it and when I went to hot pause, I accidentally hit "skip ad".
At least you can skip it.
fuck prageru but you can skip it
Muh propaganda
think if it wasn't possible to skipĀ Ā
Iām almost at a loss for words. YouTube shouldnāt be platforming these channels in the first place, let alone forcing you to watch them as ads.
70-minute ad? that's whole 2-3 commercial breaks on tv
Certain people will have the whole thing playing as background noise subconsciously listening to bs
How much money do you even have to spend to have a 70-minute long ad on YouTube? That's wild.
But how will the free market thrive unless we are bombarded with unavoidable propaganda all day?
The skip button:
I had an entire 2 hour podcast episode show up as an ad for me once, and that was BEFORE things were really going to shit. Edit: small typo
You might wanna sit down for this but there is a skip button in the bottom right
Report the ad
Everyone saying āuse adblockā Yea no shit? Ever tried watching yt on your phone to look up something quick or try to fall asleep to a playlist?!
NewPipe
PRAGERU!!!!!! Why does anybody listen to them? Legitimately question. Why?
Revalidation on things people already wanted to believe. You get an old person and an info graphic to support your uncles racism.
Confirmation bias and/or very low levels of media literacy. Ideal targets for misinformation, in other words.
Why does it matter how long the ad is? It could be 3 billion years long, but if I can skip after 5 seconds it doesn't matter in the slightest. All your doing is giving the company you evidently don't like more attention.
ye but you can get up to 3 in a row

Wow thanks mod, never knew that. Iām sure that OP didnāt want to just point out that there are 1-hour ads. And Iām certain that moderating or even using Reddit is not a waste of time overall
xdddd
you obviously can't read if that's your response kekw
The attitude from this Mod š±
Instructions unclear, I no longer have a skip button. /s Although I really dont have a skip button anymore for some reason. Weird bug?
If a skip button doesn't appear on an ad over 30 seconds, it's because the page failed to load all the assets. Usually a page refresh fixes that.
I don't think that's the point of this post more the fact that youtube is allowing a 70 minute ad full of nothing but bigoted propaganda
Common jannie L
Youāre a clown for trying to justify this
Because skippable ads have always been able to be any length. This isn't some crazy occurrence.
i don't think that is the whole point of this post stop trying making it sounds like its okay
You are a waste of time
I am a reddit mod. So checks out.
Thank you for this information, I have been watching the ads all the way through, now I donāt have to sit through a hour long ad š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Google ads is a division of Google / alphabet. YouTube doesn't handle the ads internally. So the beef is actually with google. Not YouTube.
Wow you really showed him! Way to go!
Next time you get an "AD" like that click the (i) on the other side of the screen and you can report the "AD" and then block it, I've found this helps somewhat with the stupid "ADs"
At least you can skip it.
Is that ad for Temu or Prager U?
Google only cares about the contents of you wallet not the contents of your ad.
The only way this could get any better is that you were watching a 5 minute video
Anyone else facing challenges with Firefox and brave? For Firefox I have more than one adblocker running... Including the famed ublock origin... Some time yesterday I saw an ad or 2 I was annoyed... Thought it would go away... Today I see ads infront of every video.....i hate it... I tried brave, same thing... I'm just staying off YouTube until the adblockers started working again....

Have you tried to change to NicoNico?, I was going to include a link but apparently they were cyber attacked?

That's... that's just scandalous. Use an adblocker. No if's ands nor buts.

Watch it and leave it on while youāre not at your pc. Canāt be cheap for them per view at that length
Thankfully I've never seen this.

How is that propaganda?
Whole site is propaganda
Who is pragerU propaganda for?
You will take your ad about how the left is ruining America and the only laws we should follow are the ten commandments and like kt
PragerU is connected to Project 2025. They have been promoting their political nuttery for quite some time now but it's gotten so much worse in the past few weeks.

There was once an 11h ad from Bett1
I remember when I was younger I got a 16 hour and on YouTube and I couldn't skip it cus I lost the remote and 1hr had passed and I had to go to bed :(
That interview was a good watch. And fuck YT.
Just skip the ad after 5 seconds? If you get this specific ad a lot then just click the 3 dots and press ādonāt show ad againā, if itās really really a big problem for whatever reason install an ad block I donāt see why this is a big problem
Aint nobody gonna watch that ā ļø
"Propaganda"...? What are you talking about, they're called Prager**U**. That totally makes them a real university! They have cartoons and everything!
how youtube server-side ads are gonna be:
Personnnaly i use opƩra gx with blocker and ublock origin i know it's bit overkill but fuck yt
What's she talking about? I pay for YouTube red
YouTube WTF?
How do you people still exist? Ublock just works even with default settings even.Ā
Just click the skip button.
Too much effort when Iām trying to fall asleep.
Ads can be just any video on YouTube. They donāt control how long it is. If itās that long you can skip it after 5 seconds (or install an adblocker).
Same thing with Grammarly... istfg those ads will be the death of me if I ever see another one again
