I haven't seen an ad on YouTube in several years. Doubt I'll ever see one.

Haven't seen an anti-adblock message yet, and I block ads in all sorts of ways across my devices.
lol, good luck with that Google
I got fed up with this shit and invested a bit of time into getting a working Premium Family plan through a cheap country (Ukraine is about $4 per month). I invited my whole family (parents included) so essentially 6 people have an ad-free YouTube now for less than $1 each (per month). I assume that's still less than what they have gotten by serving us a shit ton of ads. And I am rid of that cat and mouse game for a while.

Switched to FreeTube. Problem solved.
