mpv youtube-URL works just fine without even loading the crappy scripts to show a banner like that. Manage your subscriptions with a RSS feeder and you don't need an account to follow creators.

AdGuard pro, SponsorBlock, DeArrow, and Untrap for YouTube. I only rarely ever see a brief part of a sponsor ad, and never see YouTube’s own ads.

Untrap lets you modify nearly anything about YouTube like even removing the view count and channel avatars, among many other options.

I use Firefox on Linux Mint, none of this happens and if it does you fix it by copy pasting a code on the settings of ublock

Still working here, you can try clearing ubo's cache to see if it goes away.

Yeah, they're trying new things again. Gotta squeeze that stone for all the blood that's in it.

One of my accounts has been getting a long delay before the video starts. Pre-roll ads are trying to load and play but the add-ons I have installed are still stopping them from completely succeeding. For now.

I also have auto-play turned off, and I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Pretty sure the systems at their side think that I'm seeing the ads because I've had pop-ups during the delay offering free Premium.
