Privacy & Freedom in the Information Age www.reddit.com

I realized an an old iphone Youtube adverts were not playing. Thinking about this I've come to the (possible wrong lmk) conclusion that Youtube tests if the video will load, and if the content is not playing bypasses adverts. On the old device it simply didn't have up to date stuffs, but applying this same concept I decided to try mass refreshing the page.
It worked. An advert displays on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.. REALLY (Really youtube?!) but …

adverts bypass can date device iphone old privacy tests thinking video wrong youtube
