YouTube ads have evolved since the block. The two ads you get, you have to individually skip them, when it lets you. And the ads are now like 5 minutes each, so if you're doing dishes or something while watching, you can't skip. Or ads that end, but then the ad banner just stays there until you manually skip. I told my daughter that if she wants to experience what tv was like for me when I was a kid, to just use YouTube without Adblock.
