A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Some websites load the ads before the page itself, which seems to get around many adblockers. Or at least I've heard some folks say that. Can't say for certain, though my adblocker doesn't seem to work at all on some sites, and that could be why.
Youtube could bake the ads into the video stream to make them unskippable. This still wouldn't stop frontend technologies like Invidious from scraping.
