Youtube ads have gotten more and more obnoxious and intrusive as time has gone on. I remember even before adblock was a thing using Youtube and not having to wait 30+ seconds to decide if I want to watch the video or not.

This is not necessarily a reason to block all ads. But if they would make the ads less obnoxious I'd be much more likely to not worry about blocking them.

I haven't seen a youtube ad in years. And I only use Noscript which is partially disabled on youtube, because you need scripts for flash. So I should see ads.

If you could link me a video with an ad it would be awesome, I want to determine the cause.
