Just use Invidious instead, its better than the official website
I just wished more YouTubers would jump onto peertube. Their sponsors still pay them for the views and it would just be so mich better...

I'm pretty close to avoiding Youtube altogether. This might be the thing that makes me block it.
right there with you. i’ve cut facebook, twitter, reddit, and many physical things out of my life, and i gladly welcome youtube to join that cold shoulder list
Just stop using YouTube.
Did you know the software will only display none or at most a single 4-second skipable ad if you watch less than 15 minutes of youtube a month? I hear people complain about 5-15+ minute youtube commercials and laugh because I've never dealt with that.
The secret is to literally just stop watching youtube (and television in general). The content you find on Youtube, Netflix, Hulu, etc is all going down hill quickly.
If I used a 3rd party client for a month would this still apply for the browser?
No clue tbh how they track it - neither my partner nor I watch youtube much, so they don't see much traffic from our network. Don't know if they track usage by user, ip, cookies, etc
Once revanced goes I'll use NewPipe, once NewPipe goes I guess I'll go to the library for my useless knowledge.
Pound that "report issue" button & feed them garbage.
Revanced is going to be hard for them to defeat as you're patching out ads in the code itself. Their best bet would be to start running ads injected directly into the stream like Twitch -- although those can also be bypassed but it requires proxies.
The anti-adblock popups should be able to be defeated. There have been anti-adblock scripts and anti-anti-adblock filters for years.
