So you see this ad also because I think its a malware that hijacked my chrome browser!If you do a search about this you find that there are a lot of people with the same question.
To boil it down, YouTube is a commercial, for profit enterprise that pays some content creators. Part of the TOS is that while using the platform you see ads. In the past they have changed the site to allow or disallow pop up and ad blocks to work for a while without issue...I think mostly in response to user backlash. I guess this is a period where they are trying again. They have publicly stated they would. I have the same issue there.
It´s not a hijacked browser, it´s YouTube reinforcing their ad rules. Most people are getting them now.So you see this ad also because I think its a malware that hijacked my chrome browser!
I hope Adblock Plus and AdGuard extensions will find a way to block them!
I second this. I have Ublock Origin in Chrome on multiple computers and do not see Youtube Ads.I see adds on Youtube for my i-phone, but, apparently UBlock Origin has made me forget there were any adds on Chrome via Win10...(have not seen an add in years)
