I don't mind if you show me a forced ad in the beginning of the video that's fine, but this interrupting the video MULTIPLE TIMES in a single video to show ads is BULLSHIT. I keep trying ad blocks but eventually they disable them.
Youtube is driving me loco with the ads

Then get a proper adblocker like Ublock Origin....
Well it seems Ublock Origin won over Youtube since they no longer update the detection script

And here I thought you always were "Loco" 
Anyways, I don't know what I've done, and I do have an adblocker, And I have had no problems
I do though, get them on my phone watching YT.

I haven't seen an ad on youtube in many years. I have firefox and ublock origin. I don't do anything special.
if anyone wants more options across different devices:
Android - newpipe, revanced (I think you need to be rooted) I've been corrected by four people...
windows/Linux - freetube is stand-alone
ios - brave browser
android Tv (ie nvidia shield) - smarttube next

I use the Brave browser. It has a built-in ad blocker, and I have never seen a YouTube ad with it.
That is strange, because I also use Brave browser and Youtube made me disable their ad blocker, and then every ad blocker I try ends up disabled by Brave browser for being malware.

Nope revanced works perfectly on my non rooted phone
Honestly, if they at least did ads in a way that doesn't interrupt the video, more people would probably be willing to not use ad block.
Firefox (or Librewolf/r3dfox/Pale Moon/Seamonkey/Icecat)+Ublock Origin, Brave (if you want to stay within Chromium clones) or Newpipe/Revanced (Android). Pick your poison, I barely use youtube anyway outside looking up a tutorial or someone linking it up as reference for news/interviews/old media/trailers.
I mostly watch YouTube on my Android, which has YouTube Revanced, which is excellent. If you have an Android.
Honestly. Vanilla YouTube at this point is a corporate machine. Every popular creator MUST have clickbait thumbnails, sponsors, ads, no cursing, no violence, can't say "suicide", can't say "kill", can't do this, can't do that, do all this right and get money. Over and over and over again. It's a perpetual checklist of approval. Step out of line, all money goes out the window.
I hate that the uploaders can't just check boxes for categories like "has cursing", "has violent topics", etc and just let the viewers filter out what they want to see on the platform.
