A super clever workaround for YouTube's crackdown on ad blockers sees YouTube ads sped up dramatically instead of blocking them.

      Ads are the very core of Google at this point. They are more likely to give up their search engine and the name Google before they give up their ad business.

      Unfortunately the videos with ads absolutely packed through them are largely due to the creators choosing the settings for extra monetization.
