The day that Youtube makes it impossible to watch videos without their awful intrusive ads is the day that I never use Youtube again.
Youtube ads are 1000x worse than TV commercials because somehow they are not only even louder and more obnoxious, but they also interrupt what you're watching mid-sentence because they have zero intelligence to their placement.
This. Yet again, it is shown that "piracy" (though the word probably doesn't apply to adblock) is a service problem. If it was one or two brief ads per video, I wouldn't have a problem letting the ads play. But they've ratcheted things up to the point where it is nearly unbearable without an adblock.
