I was having issues with it the other day, and so I pasted the URL into my browser and it would not let me watch past 1 min of any video without disabling ublock.
Needless to say, I didn't watch the video. I'm done with using YouTube in any official way. If they successfully remove all options for avoiding ads on their site, then I will just never go there again.
Same. I've been tentatively exploring podcasts, since most of what I used YouTube for was listening to videos to get to sleep at night. It would be exciting if Peertube use picked up because of this, though.
