Have you started getting ads in YouTube?

Question

So I have been using an adblocker (ublock origin) on youtube for a while now, basically since the ad time and video time became 1:1, and it's worked well. But now I am starting to see youtube ads pop back up.Anyone know why this is?

Check if your ublock origin install is corrupted.This happened to me the other day. There should be an option to "repair" it on the plugin page and that should hopefully work.

Google Chrome disabled adblocker because it believes it has malware.Just had this pop up 10 mins ago.

A popular business model back in the day is to just pay adblockers to let ads through: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/02/over-...I believe they don't always do it, they just fail every now and then for different people. There's been few of these news posts recently though.
