Beware of scams

**** them, they make billions already. Creators also get benefits from the number of views, subscribers and comments to feed the algorithm. Ads during youtube video's are painful, the always seem to come on when someone is mid sentence or other inappropriate time. Makes watching very difficult sometimes and then lets not look over the fact that many video's also have sponsors and in-video advertising.

@Forcedvp try changing your IP address or run it through a VPN and see what happens.

Okay. I tried BRAVE browser with built in vpn and blockers. It works (sort of) It will play an ad before playing a video but cuts all the ads in the video. That was trying it on a doco type video of over 60mins where you would normally have 59mins of ads dotted throughout the vid. So not perfect but tolerable.
But I think you're right. Will try changing IP address and not signing in on YT.

No. I haven't. So not a dumb suggestion.

Try clearing YouTube and Google search history...
