It's not that seamless depending on the content you usually consume.
I feel like I keep seeing the same single livestream trying to sell me a phone charger, and then roughly the same 5 or 6 videos trying to sell me a specific product over and over again.
As long as I don't report or say "I keep seeing this ad" it will show me the same ones so they are easy to skip.
Usually it's something I started watching until I realized it was an ad, but because I started watching it one time it thinks I'm interested so it will continually show it to me.
Once you spot them they are easy to skip. (at least, until they get better at masking then and then it will get harder).
And I thought western social media was already unbearable without adblockers. This sounds even more hellish.
