YouTube, I've been using ad-blockers since the advent of pop-up ads in the late 90s. You've never been able to stop this, and you aren't going to now.

I don't use the YouTube app or watch your videos on my browser. I use FreeTube on desktop, LibreTube and GrayJay on mobile and FCast on TV so 🖕

Thanks for mentioning LibreTube! I've installed it.

You're welcome. I recommend disabling the Piped API as it will cause constant connectivity issues, and you don't need it if you have a VPN.
