Install tampermonkey extension, which lets you install user scripts. Links are on the page. Install the user script that de-fucks youtube on that page. Counterintuitivly, whitelist YouTube in ublock origin. Make sure you arent running anything else that also adblocks, like “enhancer for YouTube.” If so, disable their adblock too.
Install firefox for best results. Not for this, just in general.
I use an adblocker in the 1st place because ads got annoying and harmful (malware). I don’t mind a short, relevant ad. Now that google has double down on ads, I have doubledowned on blocking them. I not only block as I was doing before, I spitefully cost advertisers extra money.
Me too. My clever trick failed.
There are other clever tricks. Ive tested this one working literaly today:

It amazes me the amount of effort people will put into not watching ads on an ad-supported platform.
I’m poor and google sucks. Once I get some money, I’ll probably donate to the youtubers directly on patreon or whatever they use.
I just pay them, because I value my time.
Now see, if only someone else valued my time, I’d be able to “just pay them”.
