So anyone figure out how to block that? I was thinking if the server that supplied the ads could be blocked, then the ads won't appear. What do you think?

Can you provide a link where a video ad is actually played before the content?

Don't you watch YouTube videos? The ads appear at the bottom the videos, they are word ads.

I haven't seen them either, but that doesn't mean anything. An example video where you get the ads would be great. Maybe Youtube is testing something (although I think US users are usually first when it comes to such things).

I am not in US, look at my location.
Anyway, maybe ABP already blocks it becoz I only noticed them while my mom say YT videos on IE.

I know. That's why I wrote "although".

So why did you think they are not blocked with ABP?^^

Because the video appeared
ON the video, not some regular frames. A word ad appears just above the controls of the video.

WHOA! You already found the solution!
Hopefully, Ares2 will have it added to EasyList, unless there's already a filter rule which covers this?
