Sounds good. It’s a waste of time anyway. Maybe I’ll do something else like go outside or create something of my own.

God it sure would suck if there were trojan advertisements threatening to take down Youtube servers.
~~My local invidious instance is borked too. Not sure if its related and I don't have time to investigate now.~~
~~Guess I need something else for background noise.~~
Edit: Took enough time to get a fresh image and its working again. Looks like I hadn't updated since September.
Since it is server side, will this effect the alternative front ends?
That’s the point. They want to stop people bypassing ads by using alternative front ends. If they succeed with server side ads, then it’s going to be difficult to block ads. Maybe not impossible, but difficult.

I got the server-side ads a few weeks ago. Switched to another account and was ad-free again. I'd be happy to pay for Premium as it supports the creators I watch, but for ad-free alone it's not worth the £13/mo. The other features jacking up the price aren't much use to me.
FUCK GOOGLE SO GODDAMN MUCH
