    People already filter out ads because they are not mixed in with the video cdns, they come from a different cdn that is easily detectable. If they inermix the ad into the video stream, there would be no difference in the BT stream. Again people are just assuming they give up regular CDN, bt is just supplemental not a replacement, that’s obvious for any 100% uptime website aka server.

    As far as ads go, AI is the next tech to filter them out wherever they are, within the video itself. Google does this also when it generates tags and thumbnails of women.

      Youtube, as in the entire site, is an advertising platform.

      Everything the user does is sold to the highest bidder.

      Video ads make pennies compared to everything else.
