How many of you are swarmed with Kong x Godzilla ads on YouTube?

I just opened youtube, and literally between every video on the home screen was the same adbanner for this stupid movie This was never this extreme for me. Is something similar happening for some of you, or is this just rng?

Sounds like you need uBlock Origin or Invidious/NewPipe.
- SmartTube Next if you're on a TV device.
  
  SmartTube ~~Next~~
- I have uBlock on my PC, but not on my phone
  
  Firefox mobile and uBlock origin
  
  Super easy to add. Takes less time than sitting through an unskippable YouTube ad.
  
  Look up YouTube revanced :)
  
  revanced/uyou
Not many people here I guess, because most people here use ad blockers.
Naw, haven't seen an ad in years, because I use Adblockers.
Sounds awful though.
I have Ublock Origin and use Revanced
So no :p
- Can confirm Ublock Origin is an absolute godsend! YouTube forcing me to watch multiple 3-minute long ads just to watch a 2-minute video was driving me nuts!
  
  Honestly I would probably just stop using YouTube altogether if I was forced to use it unmodified.
I haven't seen those ads or any other since I've got an ad blocker
I haven't seen a YouTube ad in over a decade.
What is YouTube?
My friend. Revanced is the solution to your troubles.
None, YouTube thinks I am interested in gambling and electric cars. I am interested in neither.
- I’m bombarded with haircare product ads—I have literally not used shampoo in ten years. I just rinse my hair in the shower with water and it’s all great. I’m so glad YT is so off.
- Really?
  Have you seen the new DeLorean (Alpha 5)? 🚗
I use Libretube so... No.
I couldn't stop giggling at the ad banner I saw for it. Something about imagining Godzilla gnawing on a kong (Dog toy) and losing.
I'm more swarmed with the fact that when I updated my repatched yt app I now have to open videos in Newpipe because videos will usually within in the first couple minutes go to the black buffer screen indefinitely.
- I thought i was the only one. Also using newpipe lol
Not a one for me. Probably not random, though; I have targeted advertising turned off. Probably you’re recognized as being in a specific demographic they want. Change your settings and see if they go away.
Grayjay.app also no ads here
I pay for premium, haven't seen an ad in years.
- Premium gang.
