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.

yes. since you are there, look into enabling the "cookie notices" and "annoyances" filters, they are pretty great too over the stock ones!
