How it works is that once you start getting them, the video will create a sort of queue with ads before each video that can’t be skipped and have a red bar (not yellow). They are not literally part of the video stream, it’s a separate stream that tries to act as the legitimate ad. It’s called SSAP and I’ve been experiencing it from the last weekend.
Yeah, there’s ways around this. It’s just that most of the ublock origin blocking specific code, isn’t reusable here and the team will need to start over to deal with this new tactic/approach from Google.
The cure might eventually be worse than the disease though. If not now, or tomorrow, then the next day.
I’ll let the unblock team carve demonic sigils into me and sacrifice my grandma if that’s what it escalates to, I’d sooner lose YouTube entirely than sit through those ads

You could also use something like GrayJay, I’ve been using it for a while now and haven’t had any issues with it.
