It really isnt getting harder to dodge past the initial recent push. "Go to settings, purge cache, refresh list, refresh youtube" is just as many steps today as it was when this recent push started
Big thing that helps is switching off of Chrome. I've been seeing a lot of people say that we should stop using Chrome and I just hadn't gotten around to it. Once the YouTube adblocker started picking up Ublock Origin even after clearing the cache I hard switched to Fire Fox and installed Ublock Origin.
I have not cleared my cache once and I haven't seen a single ad.
Firefox + uBlock Origin + PiHole = I'm wondering what all the fuss is about. I haven't seen a single adblocker warning on YouTube yet.
Stop using browsers based on Chromium people, it's not that hard.
