I saw a fix the other day. I've only used it once or twice, and it appears to work. (But I've only got a couple of items in my own experience so far.)
Change the URL by adding a '.' to the domain's name, as in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<whatever the serial number is>
to
https://www.youtube.com./watch?v=<whatever the serial number is>

Seems to work. Try it yourself. (I couldn't find an actual video with ads in the few moments I spent searching for an actual example. Murphy's Law strikes again!)
- gardenfelder 4y agoTried it. No change. Add still opens the video.
- simonblack 4y agoSome videos have ads as part of the video. Can't do anything about those, sorry. I'm talking about the videos that have YouTube ads embedded within them that interrupt the video while it's playing. That trick also appears to work for some pay-for-view websites (as do 'archive' and '12ft ladder' work for some websites). Again, I don't have enough items to prove it and I can't remember which website it was that I tried it on when it worked. I boycott websites that demand money. "Plenty more fish in the sea."
