OT rant: Youtube appears to be ad-free again. Was: Why is youtube-dl blocked

[Wade Smart]

Not sure it is that simple.
It wouldnt be the first time a company gives it to you, takes it away,
gives it to you to get you interested, takes it away, bit by bit getting
you "hooked".. drugs, tech, video.. all the same.

It might also the be one or some of the videos you are seeing.
Many that I watch I was able to watch the entire time because those
channels have no ads.
