Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with double serving ads earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.

    I’d totally pay for YT…But I honestly watch so little that their monthly sub just isn’t worth it for me.

    I’d pay for it if their first-party experience wasn’t so horrific and gave me any control over my feed.

      I pay for it so the TV and web experience is ad free. I use PipePipe on my phone because the native client won’t stop pushing shorts at you.

        Yeah, I mean, you don’t need to pay for it to get that.
