I always have UBlockOrigin active (to the point I even forget I'm running it) and a couple days ago I got my first YouTube ad in a pretty long time. Even then, it was all skippable stuff every 2-3 videos in a music playlist, so nothing to complain about really.
What I can't stand is when they appear mid video interrupting an interesting sequence. That's awful "greed before UX" design.
I'm even worse. I just pay for YouTube Premium. It's pretty worth. I get a full music streaming service and no ads for $13. It's actually such a good deal, that I'm judging whether or not to permanently drop Spotify.
