seems,at least here yt have shot themselves in the foot with a recent change that insists i turn on history.If i dont, instead of a random page of suggestions that i would scroll through and randomly play stuff that looked interesting  ,all i get now is a blank screen.

Thanks langwadt for comment;
   I think about the revenue stream issues too, as I've been, potentially at least, involved with software that could have copyright.
   However, I'm possibly on the other side, of any controversy, being that:
   My phone runs via...a Google originated system, Android.
   My phone video loads, via...a Google owned video source, YouTube.
   My email runs, almost, under Google's Gmail, but I'm using another, older service.
   Any formal complaints I may file, say under the U.S. Trade commission, assuming some major crap happens, will transmit via. Google, even if I don't use that Gmail account.
   Formal complaints in various govt. agencies can sometimes be collected via. Google Forms, as well as various medical forms at my doctor.

   Heck, that phone knows when I'm up, out of bed, within less than 30 seconds (creepy).
   It's just too big a pile, of maybe avenues for abuse, of privacy or worse...

Mute for mid-roll and any other occasion.

or get youtube premium and you'll not only get no ads you'll also be paying youtube and creators for their work instead of being a freeloader complaining that people don't work for free

YT Premium?  Why?  Are they prepared to pay me for market research? 
YT fucked themselves with two unskippable ads and mid-rolls every few minutes; more than one and i'm gone.
There's only so much Grammarly and PeptoBismol BS I can take; the irony is not lost on the latter.
I give them the same amount of attention I give broadcast TV; mute and piss-breaks. 
Advertisers are stupid to expect more than that.
I Cntrl-Shift Del often and bouncing my IP is a click away.
The content creators I watch still have their day jobs and aren't in it for the money.

Shhhhhh!!! That is my secret sauce and haven’t mentioned it as don’t want YouTube to patch it  :-DD

Anyways, same thing works with clicking on a YouTube short then clicking back on mobile   ;D It doesn’t usually work for the first ad, but will usually skip the second one  ;D
