Controversial take: what if we stopped blocking ads and just accelerated them instead?

I know this might be heresy in this sub, but hear me out.

The ad blocker arms race is exhausting. YouTube breaks things, uBlock patches, YouTube breaks again. Manifest V3 made it worse.

What if the answer isn't blocking but acceleration?

I built an extension that detects YouTube ads and: - Mutes audio - Sets playback to 16x - Auto-clicks Skip - Restores everything when content plays

The ad still "plays" so the impression counts. No network interception. No arms race — YouTube has no reason to detect or block this because the ad was served and watched.

I expect this to be controversial here, but genuinely curious what people think.

Recommendations of blocking YouTube on IOS

What it says in the title. I’d prefer not doing a browser related thing (simply because I find the website more annoying to use on mobile than the app) but everything I saw besides that seemed to involve side loading or whatever it’s called, which I am very unfamiliar with and am worried I’d fuck up. So are there other recommendations?
