Ask HN: Anyone else getting continuous adverts from YouTube?
As per the title, anyone else getting continuous adverts from
Youtube, making it impossible to watch anything on Youtube? Cant
jump forward as it goes straight to an advert, even started
watching youtube channels in the search list, but the youtube
controls keep changing as well as well as dissappearing. One even
managed to crash the computer, wiped out the screen, the keyboard,
the mouse. Keep getting an Eon advert over and over again, 20
seconds long, singing away something about time is running out, and
then immediately after the Eon advert loads of junk adverts for
spurious health conditions which all seem to be voiced over by the
same bloke?

| No -- because I download anything I might want to watch from
| youtube with yt-dlp (https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-
| dlp/wiki/Installation) and then watch with my native viewer -- so
| no ads, besides those the creators insert directly into the video
| itself.
