I already deleted the app from my phone once they introduced modal overlay ads that you have to dismiss

On mobile I’ve noticed there’s a button have to click to remove the ad. It’s maddening. I click the button to skip. So they added layers of ads. You gotta click skip twice to get to the video. Now there’s shit covering up my interface that I have to remove. So much shit.

Yeah, Though I don't see ADs myself as I use Ad blockers, my friends do and they told me how bad it is. It was bad before with 60 second ADs, and now, its worse.

When a video opens for me now there is a AD before it shows any content.

There's another thing I don't see people talking about. In the YouTube app itself, they have hovering "Products" link, that covers a portion of a video (might just be shorts) and there doesn't appear to be any way to remove it. I currently have YouTube Premium and it shows up.
