Question. Wouldn’t the catch-all solution for YT is to pair the AJAX calls for the video with a “view video key”, and that key to be found out after running a deeply obviouscated javascript served with the html of the “view video” page?
They could even bundle some of the key-building-js with the ad being served.
At some point in order to “block the ad” , the ad blocker would have to run or analyze tons of JS code , making the ordeal to difficult to compute.
There are some brands of bicycles that can cost more than the down payment on a car. Why? Surely making a bike lightweight and reliable isn’t so difficult that it warrants that price? Is it just the brand name or maybe it has to do with customization options?

I have a particular internet radio show that I like to listen to each week and I am looking for a solution to automatically begin recording at a specific time each week on a particular station for a specific amount of time so that I can listen to it when I’m unavailable at that time.

I quite enjoy cereals that have a range of different ingredients - like oat clusters with freeze dried strawberry or museli with almonds and raisins. Over time though, the oats rise to the top and the smaller bits get trapped at the bottom so when you’re near the end of the packet it’s 70% dust....
