does this affect the ip range blockers. I thought about getting one of those, but youtube will probably find a way to cook ads into regular content, but we have AI now.....

Like pihole? I recently set it up and it is not blocking YouTube ads (as other commenters have also pointed out).
Most of the streaming sites are serving ads from the same subdomain these days. I think Paramount might still be separate? But causes issues when you try to log in as well, so have to pause Pihole to log in. Then ads are (sometimes) blocked :)

Has anybody else not seen an ad yet? I'm wondering if it's because I'm using Enhancer for youtube which also has an adblocking function 🤔
I haven't seen any anti adblock things on youtube if that's what you mean
I haven't yet but I presume that's because I don't have an account - which according to the article they're targeting people by account.
For a day I got the no video but audio playing ads.
On my Shield where I don't have uBlock Origin, I get bombarded with ads.
Use smarttube

We need an economic system change. We should go beyond the data economy and find new sustainable ways to develop software and platforms and social networks. uBO won't win alone vs Google, unless they stop challenging it over technology
