Presumably you mean Google _targeted_ ad.s; presumably if you watch YouTube videos, you get the ad.s, most commonly at the start of he video but sometimes interrupting them - and they will be Google-_inserted_ (since YouTube _is_ Google), they just won't be (very) _targeted_. [Unless you never watch the videos in the YouTube frame but always download them with yt-dlp or similar first, which I'd find too tedious for general video "browsing".] > > I must be doing something right, right?
