This works for me:

||adthrive.com^

But we have this filter in Unbreak:

@@||ads.adthrive.com/sites/*/ads.min.js$script,from=a-z-animals.com|brewerfanatic.com|fishonfirst.com|northsidebaseball.com|pimylifeup.com|twinsdaily.com

The videos reported in #7766 are not directly related to the article they are embedded in (they are randomly generated), I think they should be blocked, they are really annoying.

[stephenhawk8054]

Yeah, they are ads videos disguised as related videos.

[stephenhawk8054]

I think the other sites in the exception filter are also in similar situation. For example: https://a-z-animals.com/animals/swallow/pictures/.

I think we can temporarily disable the filters and see what happens?

[gorhill]

For example one of these embedded videos was about how to install NodeJS in Raspberry, so I searched for this, and found an article about this: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pinodejs/. The supposed tutorial video should have been embedded there but it's not, instead there is an unrelated video about "AI Assistant".

Yes, we should definitely block adthrive.com, and if someone reports breakage, we will point out these videos are just spam, we can tell them how to unblock on their side if they really want these.
