The third part is youtube keeps implementing more sophisticated ad blocking to the point you can't block ads..

Idk I’m still blocking ads no problem.

They will break the internet as much as they need to in order to accomplish this.

I think its the opposite, the more they tighten the noose the more innovative our solutions are for getting around them. I got so pissed off at seeing half my video watching time go to ads that I found a youtube alternative that goes right on my firestick (smarttube). I wouldnt have bothered doing all that if they had not pushed it too far, which they obviously have.
