It seems to me that YouTube has gone a new way and places advertisements in front of the video as if this is the video that I want to watch. Adblock in this case does not work at all.

It was a very good thing. But these days its just cant block the ads.
google overtake you maam.

No longer works, previously brialliant but youtube is ever evolving to suck its userbase dry of joy

un follon para lo que antes era un momento
