Add Ghostery and 'uBlock Origin'
A month or two ago I started getting ads on youtube videos, searched around and found that 'uBlock Origin' would get rid of all of them on the computer.
(Now to figure out how to get rid of ads on the smart-tv when watching youtube (without going YT Red))
The semi-nuclear option of blocking domains like doubleclick.net in your router’s firewall can help. Of course, YT is owned by Google and Google has a plethora of ad domains eg googleadservices.com
If you find the answer to the ads on the smart tv problem, please let me know. I have the same problem using you tube (we no longer have cable).
