How can people use #YouTube without @ublockorigin or paying for it?

I just tried to watch an assay via Tor Browser. 5 minutes 20 seconds into the video I had to view 2 pre video advertisements and 2 advertisements after 2 minutes 30 seconds and 2 advertisements after 5 minutes.

Now I do not want to watch YouTube anymore. I feel that I watched as many minutes/seconds advertisements as I watched wanted content.

For me, it's slow loading times for videos. Get a lot of "experiencing interruptions?" pipupe, too.

    @umbrella @doleo ad blockers are working fine, the thing that shits me about youtube is that quite often they can’t manage a video stream over fhd without stalling every 30s.

    Also, the new embedded player layout is baaad. The “gear” settings is top right but the menu pops up bottom center. Who came up with that, that’s a lot of mouse distance on a 4k screen.

    @umbrella I wouldn't think it's a filter issue? The video works fine other than regularly not having enough buffer to keep playing.
