Right click ublock > options > click on "Filter Lists" > purge all caches > update now

99% of the time if ublock origin is letting ads through is because your filters are outdated

I actually got some ads too. I know some websites try to upstage ad blockers, which is one of the reasons ad blockers constantly has to do updates.

Prime gaming doesn't stop ads anymore, at least not in a full capacity.

Have to sub ($5 or more) for no ads

Place your ads server-side, instead of hijacking our browsers.

If the ads were zipped right into the video stream, no adblocker would be able to touch it. The only option would be to download the video and manually crop them out in video-editing software.

No, sorry, if you block ads you should be blocked from viewing the channel.

Twitch streamers make literal pennies from ads.

Your average non-partnered streamer, they make more off of two subs than they do a months worth of ads

From the link


Why does malvertising work?

Each day, a large number of ads are submitted to the various advertising networks throughout the world, making it very difficult for the advertising networks to perform a thorough analysis of each ad. Often advertisers work on a complaint based system, wherein if a complaint is lodged against an ad or ads from a specific group/company a deep analysis is then performed at that time. Many websites, especially large ones with several hundred thousand users per day, rely on third party vendors and software in order to display its ads, which in turn reduces the direct oversight and the amount of vetting that takes place. This automation makes online ads vulnerable to malvertising.

In addition, it is very difficult for cybersecurity experts to identify exactly which ad is malicious because the ads on a webpage constantly change. This means that one visitor may be infected, but the next ten, who visit the exact same webpage, wont be infected.

As you see it can happen to any website. Lets see how to combat this disgusting threat.

How To Combat It

Unfortunately, due to the way this attack vector works, it is quite difficult for users to protect themselves against it. The best course of action is to ensure that all utilized software and extensions (particularly the web browser, as well as Flash and Java) are kept up-to-date. Where possible, if your browser allows for it disable the use of Flash or set it to require user interaction in order to run. When browsing the Internet, make sure to close browser windows when not in use, since this will minimize the number of ads displayed and minimize the likelihood of a malicious ad appearing. Consider the use of an add-on ad blocker in order to block automated scripts from running on visited websites.

The thing is, the content is not worth $5 a month, for me. Same with ads, It's not worth sitting through ads every few minutes, to me. If adblock didn't work, or you HAD to sub, I just would never watch twitch. Period.

That's the thing people don't seem to get, like the people in this thread and that chick who was berating people for not subbing earlier this year. The content ONLY has value to me as a free source of entertainment. If you had to sub or constantly get flooded with ads to watch some chick play justdance or whatever, I would just never tune in.

I get that people wanna support their favorite streamers or whatever, but I just don't value the content that highly. Same reason I don't buy cable tv.

Then don't watch, or suck it up and deal with ads.

Or get uBlock Origin and very seldom worry about ads again. If they do get through sometimes like in this case, you can be certain they'll be blocked in short order.

I've been watching a followed only streamer for an hour now and not seen an ad yet.
