What ads ? i don't see any. simply don't use the mobile app. use a proper browser like #firefox, a proper screen, #ublock and #sponsorblock . Then #google and #youtube can go fuck themselfs.

they're a nuisance. I haven't used Youtube in months now and I'm very happy without it. I use PipePipe as the alternative, even though it has the occasional glitches/bugs, it's still a very stable app.

Depends on how it's unskippable.
If they "burn in" ads in creators movies, it's outside current agreement and they will most likely get the EU on their arses..

Yet another lesson why proprietary services are to be avoided. I hope more people will learn this lesson and move to free software alternatives like PeerTube.
