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.
I have also had this issue a few times. Reinstalled it thinking I'd butchered something, but I definitely have the ad blocker on.
Edit: I've got a clip of a pre-roll (idk if this is the right terminology, but an unskippable ad before the video) occurring, if it would be helpful, I can attach it.
just needs to be uodated, but exit code 2 is killing me. but I am super grateful nontheless

Sorry about the exit code 2, It’s been resolved.
and since that issue has been happening, I decided to update Reborn to v4.2.8 aswelll.

I think it only does pre-roll ads because I have the same exact issue aswell, at the moment not sure if that can be solved since I don’t know where its triggering those ads.
however I don’t think you’ll get mid-roll and post-roll ads but hopefully AdBlock would be improved in the future.

Yeah, I've only had pre-roll ads, not mid-roll or post-roll. Thankfully it's very rare though, and clicking off the vid and back on does get rid of them.
Next YouTubeRebornPlus release, pre-roll ads will get removed and hopefully it works! Right now I am testing it to make sure nothing bad happens so a new release will be later but not now.
