I would advise watching #ALeagueOfNobleman episode 25 on Viki rather than Youtube, unless you find dramatic revenge speeches substantially improved by having the audio replaced with jingly telephone-hold music.
Character: twisted and vengeful smile, tears in eyes
Visuals: Dutch angle, cuts back to other character grimacing in distress
Subs: “I’m going to make those fools fight each other to death!”
Audio: would you like some travel insurance? or a phone top-up card? family pack of biscuits?
NB: this is the officially-uploaded episode from Tencent, and it isn’t advertising within the episode—they’ve just replaced the entire audio for the two most dramatic minutes of the episode with advertising/elevator/phone-hold music and never checked or fixed it.
@villainousfriend I notice one of the channels I follow has a video up saying YouTube is basically pay-to-play now - it's become infuriating. One tip: if you watch in the Brave browser, you don't get the intrusive ads. I'm sure YouTube will find a workaround for this, but for now it's a huge relief.
@bioluminescently I use Firefox with uBllock Origin and that takes care of the ads too. :) (I used Brave for a while but dropped it because of some bullshit they were doing, can’t remember exactly what now.) I heard that Youtube is about to limit views for people using an adblocker, but I haven’t run into it yet. Not sure if that will affect Brave or not.
@bioluminescently This video is the official upload by the production company, so it’s especially annoying! They just fucked up the audio for two of the most dramatic minutes and haven’t checked it or fixed it. 😠
