easy fix for me, just block cookies from Youtube.
on a more on-topic thought, this is a no-win situation for content providers. active reform of the advertisement model in Youtube is long overdue as twelve ads per video and a boilerplate ad from a content sponsor in the actual content is utterly unsustainable.
people are motivated to stop adblock at google by a paycheck. this motivation pales in comparison to the white-hot rage most users experience at the current situation, combined with the open source model of most adblock projects. at best, the current effort from Meta is like pouring gasoline on a bonfire. People will join these projects even if its just to provide rapid debug data.
