My question

Not really a question, just bringing this to your attention. I believe YouTube may have changed the way ads are served. I was just watching YouTube using this ipa like I always do and suddenly I got a “video will play after ad” ad. I closed the video and opened it again and no ad played that time, but this was just a few minutes ago so idk if it’s a fluke or not.

Additional context

It’s also possible that the ad playing was just a bug, but I’ve been using tweaked YouTube ipa’s for what feels like a decade at this point, and that’s never happened a single time before. I hope this doesn’t come off as criticism. I am incredibly grateful for the work that went into this ipa. Without it, I straight up wouldn’t watch YouTube at all. I just wanted to bring this to your attention in case YouTube made some changes server-side that break the adblock method.
