YouTube has been showing more and more ads lately, and their length is also increasing. Many of them are unskippable and many people are already going crazy because of them. Although you can use various blockers, Google is trying to track them down and then tries to make watching them significantly more unpleasant for users. The only official way to get rid of ads is to pay for a Premium subscription. But there is also an interesting trick that can significantly reduce the amount of advertising. But there is a catch.
Paradoxically, the recipe for fewer ads revealed directly by YouTube management. On its blog published a report describing that the number of ads will drop significantly for a certain type of video. Specifically, it concerns live broadcasts, so-called livestreams, where the ads are even more annoying than regular videos. Especially when something really interesting is happening. But from now on, the most important moments will be without interruptionso that you can enjoy them to the fullest.
The disadvantage is that a user without a subscription has no chance to influence the appearance of ads. In short, if algorithm YouTube will evaluate that the action is culminating and that part is very important for the viewer, it will suppress the advertising. However, it will continue to show you advertising in other parts. The positive thing is that even though the change only applies to live broadcasts, Something similar has been happening with regular videos for a long time now. – if they are graduated, the ads disappear so that the viewer can fully enjoy the spectacle and not click away in disgust during an ad.

Changes to YouTube Live
In addition to that Google is trying to improve the user experience for people without a subscription, it has also made minor changes to the rules for creators. And again, this applies to live streams. It is now possible for viewers to send YouTubers dárky even during horizontally filmed live broadcasts from mobile phones. This feature is now available in the following countries:
- Canada
- South Korea
- Indonesia
- Thailand
- Australia and New Zealand
This will bring additional income opportunities to creators, but it can also be beneficial for viewers. If they donate to the YouTuber or use Super Chat or super stickers, they will receive as a reward special window without ads. So further viewing will be without annoying interruptions from advertisers. But this only applies to YouTubers who have automatic ads active in their video settings.
While Google adds ads and tries to force users to subscribe with aggressive advertising and constant interruptions, it also makes pleasant concessions. These primarily help the creators, but in the end, each of the parties involved can profit from it.
