Get Firefox, install uBlock Origin, clear the filter cache, and reload the filter cache.
Worked for me and my dad
It is time to stop the Chrome plauge.
yep.. i did. they keep coming up, somehow. very annoying.
I switched over to piped.video and no ads. Just moved my subscriptions over. Not sure how long it will last but so far it's good
If that doesn't work, get the youtube enhancer extension. Turn off it's built in adblock. You'll have a bunch of buttons on the bottom of the video, one of which is remove ads, which becomes skip ads when an ad plays. You will still get ads, but you'll be able to instantly skip them all without setting off their adblock detector. (Ps, to get the bar in fullscreen, set it to bottom of window)
Huh I might try some ytenhancer only sessions to keep a eye on how bad eds have been getting without having to waste my time
