Yes I noticed that this was fixed last night. I tried to watch a 12 min clip of Germany vs Brazil from the 2014 world cup, an ad break approx every 2 mins. Insane.
No content in the world would make me accept such toxic experience, rather not watch if that became a common experience. So far my blockers do their job, but I imagine one day they won’t and I’d probably go back to paper book reading instead.
Or you could pay a few bucks for the storage, hosting and content creation costs so they won't have to use ads to do it. The option is a few clicks away.
