So I thought this was hilarious and ironic. I'm not sure how it worked but I pulled up youtube on Chrome of which I don't have any adblockers installed and I had to sit through 2 ads. The first one was for privacyadblocker.com saying "tired of ads interrupting your video viewing experience? Well not anymore!"
I went to the site out of curiosity and sure enough the main feature advertised on it is blocking youtube video ads. So youtube is advertising an adblocker to block their own video ads. I can't imagine youtube would allow that to be advertised on their site, or would they? Aside from it being funny and ironic, what's really going on here? Did the ad developers slip that by youtube somehow as a tactic for their adblock war against youtube and get it advertised in videos without their knowledge? I don't really know anything about how ads and websites work, so I'm genuinely wondering how this happened.
