Using an ad blocker to watch YouTube videos will help you avoid the ads that Google shoves down our throats. Google obviously isn’t a fan of the practice, and I previously explained why ads are integral to the YouTube experience.
But there’s another type of ad that ad blockers won’t remove. The sponsored ads or product placement ads that creators insert in their videos. This is another way for content makers to monetize their channels. And Google just revealed that YouTubers will be able to timestamp product ads in videos to increase sales.
