I mostly watch on desktop. Their current anti-adblock strategy does get past what I am using - but I have a different clever workaround.

When the ad starts, just refresh the page. It will act as though it's already played the ads, even if it is an unskippable ad.

This reminds of something that has been bugging me on mobile.

I click a video by accident. It begins to play the ad before the video. I have to watch the add before I can go back to looking for what I wanted to watch. eugh
