they havnt evaded unblock origin so far, its only they have slowed the start of a video for a few seconds. i would imagine theyw ould try to increase the starting time for a video overtime.
Comment on YouTube's long unskippable ads may have finally met their match

Hell, they’ve even started embedding the ad directly into the same video stream if they think you’re using an ad blocker, so it’s all one contiguous video that runs straight from the ad into the video you wanted to watch. Then they just block you from skipping ahead in the video stream until the ad is done.

You’re probably using a chromium browser.

Nope, Firefox. YouTube does A/B testing for their ad methods, so what works for you won’t work for everyone.

I’ve maybe had a fail twice. Nothing a quick F5 didn’t fix.

I've never had Ublock origin fail. Plus, there's Sponsorblock for blocking in-video ads.
Alternately, you could use an app that does it for you.
Finally, I don't know what substack is, but you seem like kind of a knob for wanking so hard over a half-assed joke.
