30,000 players

I guess they killed them recently? I was getting them all the time for EVE ever since I started posting again in 2020, until YouTube’s new ad policies made me say “enough” and take extreme anti-ad measures with Brave and scripts a few months ago. One day a few months ago I got a 44-minute unskippable ad for an 8-minute streamer VOD, and that was it for me.

I rarely get YouTube ads now, but occasionally a 15-30 second spot makes it through. One of them is this annoying, abstract EVE ad I’ve made fun of in a post recently.

Edit:

Just tried experimenting with stock Edge, and when watching a random game trailer, this was in the lower-left corner:
