- Instead of 2 ways to display ads (DOM injection + React method) and having both of them clash, just do it the predictable React way.
- Augment the existing React version to support tile layout + ability to place in last visible slot.
- Consolidate styling code to scss ... DOM manipulations were making it even harder to maintain.
- Removed the need to check for ad-blockers for now. It was being executed every time an ad is displayed, and now that we are displaying ads in more places, the gains doesn't justify the performance loss. Also, it wasn't being done for Recommended ads anyway, so the inconsistency probably means it's not needed in the first place.
Other known issues fixed:
- double ad injection when changing language via nag.
- additional "total-blocking-time" due to ads at startup removed.
- fixed ads not appearing in mobile homepage until navigated away and back to homepage.
- enable ads in channel page.
- support for both List and Tile layout.
Since `triggerBlacklist` is just a simple boolean and `<Ads>` is not doing any additional logic on top of it, it doesn't make sense to pass as a parameter. Just not mount the component -- it's more concise and obvious at the client side.
## Issues
Ad-filtering:
- Filtering was done whether or not ads are injected.
- Constants are repeatedly calculated.
- No short-circuiting in the for-loop.
- No memoization (being called 5-6 times on average due to redux updates, can't avoid that).
Others:
- Potentially passing null claimID to recsys (I think this is the issue that Johnny reported in Slack).
## Changes
- Moved 1-time calculations outside of the function.
- Optimized the filtering function and memoize it.
- Reduce unnecessary props since we are passing the whole `Claim` object already.
- Fix recsys being called when claim is not resolved yet (null claimId).
- Move away from the incorrect `makeSelect*` selectors.

## Issue
6366 Recsys Evaluation Telemetry
The recommended list from lighthouse is obtained from `makeSelectRecommendedContentForUri`. This list is further tweaked by the GUI (e.g. move autoplay next item to top, remove blocked content, etc.). Recsys wants the final recommendation list and the clicked index (in exact order), so we need pass these info to the videojs recsys plugin somehow. Also, Recsys wants a recommendation list ID as well as the parent (referrer) ID, we so need to track the clicks and navigation.
## General Approach
- It seems easiest to just spew back the final (displayed) list and all the required info to Redux, and the recsys plugin (or anyone else in the future) can grab it.
- Try to touch few files as possible. The dirty work should all reside in `<RecommendedContent>` only.
## Changes
- `ClaimPreview`: add optional parameters to store an ID of the container that it is in (for this case, it is `ClaimList`) as well as the index within the container.
- When clicked, we store the container ID in the navigation history `state` object.
- For general cases, anyone can check this state from `history.location.state` to know which container referred/navigated to the current page. For the recsys use case, we can use this as the `parentUUID`.
- `ClaimList`: just relay `onClick` and set IDs.
- `RecommendedContent`: now handles the uuid generation (for both parent and child) and stores the data in Redux.
## Issue
When seeking on a video, RecommendedContent gets re-rendered, which causes the 20 ClaimPreviews to be re-rendered, several times. ClaimPreview has lots of children, plus it's constantly checking against the blacklist, among other things.
## Fix
The culprit seems to be the `recommendedContent` array -- the address may be different, but the contents are the same.
Do a deep compare instead.
Closes 5000: AutoPlay in Floating Player only works one time
Factor out the code that queries the recommendation. It needs to be called in two places:
(1) `RecommendedContent` - need to cover the case of floating player + visit another video page.
(2) When video is floating and autoplayed the next video.
## Issue
Closes 3661: Autoplay + Related go into loops ( infinite ) sometimes
## GUI
Push the actual "next" item into the top of the list.
## History search
1. Skip if the next item is itself.
2. The URL stored in the history comes in various forms, so a direct comparison won't work.
- There's also a weird case where the URL differs by just a little (p.09 vs p-09), but with the same claim ID:
lbry://vacuum-tube-computer-p.09-–-building#5212bc8bc63c373e2bf1ebc5b765595ed7b6514d
lbry://vacuum-tube-computer-p-09-–-building#5212bc8bc63c373e2bf1ebc5b765595ed7b6514d
Check the claim_id as well to cover cases like these.
## Issue
In the `Autoplay` case, if the `WaitUntilOnPage` has already opened the gates previously, the next video's Related will be loaded regardless of scroll position.
## Changes
Add a `lastUpdateDate` prop to `WaitUntilOnPage` to allow the parent to reset the gating state.
I don't really like the `lastUpdateDate` prop since it's purpose is not intuitive. Is there a standard way to do a "one-time trigger" from the parent?
This allows `RecommendedContent` to render the Card but with an empty list, so that the area isn't totally blank while waiting for `WaitUntilOnPage` to debounce.
