I haven't had an issue with it yet. Then again, I'm mostly using YouTube for political/culture war content that hasn't gone on to alt tech but has been demonetized and is using in-video ad reads to pay the bills.
I don't mind in-video ad reads. Creators mostly put their own spin on things and try to entertain, and they're not running foreign, unvetted code on my machine.
same i dont mind the sponsorship/brand deals promotion when done in video because i know the creator got payed for it and work it into the content one proment example for a bit was a youtuber called greystillplays his former style of product promotion involed him distroying the product in humorus ways. my problem is with how yt/google does THEIR advertisments they plap midroll ads in that break content flow pay a pittence if at all and flat out state they will put ads on vids regardless of monitizaton content. that last one really irks me if your putting ads on a vid you should pay them regardless too. i better stop here we will be here all day if its youtube woes.

I cannot use the internet without ublock and privacybadger.
I had to use it on my parents computer one time and I almost had a stroke from how clunky and unusable sites have become.
The unfiltered internet is absolutely psychotic. Ordinary news websites are much worse than porn sites used to be 20 years ago.
I haven't noticed any ads. I also have a seperate VPN on top of Brave though, so maybe that's why?
Edit: just had an ad. Booooooo
I just installed it but I'm still getting ads. Any tips?
I think that did it! Thank you for the tips!
Dios mio! (pulls up invidious)
4 extensions to use while on youtube:
Video downloader, youtube enhanced, sponsorblock, return dislike
Looks like it's been fixed, and the update will be rolling out soon.

Nice, thanks.
Still works for me on Linux, but not Windows.
Yeah, I had to install Ublock Origin to stop the ads.
I thought it was the phased YouTube update that started a few months back. This was a good reminder to keep video streaming under 4 hrs/week.
Freetube, piped.video or invidious is what I would recommend. I don't use YouTube or Google anymore in any form and don't even miss it.
I never realized brave shields worked on YouTube ads.
