Use an alternative front end like Invidious [1] and you won't see any ads - yet. I assume they will eventually start live-patching ads into the actual video streams and refuse to serve the rest of the stream unless the player has confirmed the ad has been shown. I can think of plenty ways how to achieve that so I guess the bottom feeders at those ad companies can do the same. If/when that happens it'll be bye-bye Youtube and any other venue which implements such measures. [1] https://github.com/iv-org/invidious https://github.com/iv-org/invidious
