YouTube advertising has lost it's mind and morality

I have been fighting YT for the last 3 months, normally I win with them blocking me after a week. This time they are relentless. I run Firefox Beta/Firefox with uBlock Origin and some other ones, It blocks ads with zero issues but if I am signed in to YT they block me hard with the full on warning screen. All I do is log out, and I am fine and I still block all ads. If I want to comment on a YT channel I log back in and comment and log off. Of course I cant keep my favorite channels so I just use the Firefox bookmarks. Every so often ( once a week ) they don't block me for less then hour and bang they catch me and block me. No big deal. They use to stop after a week before this run of heavy blocking the last 3 months.
Is it ad or add?
Yep, pretty soon it will require Id.me, enhanced id and biometrics plus several forms of payment to have a free account
And remember that will be for all web access.
Thank our world government for layering on insecure garbage nobody asked for or wants to ensure your identity is as easy as possible to steal with no recourse to fix once it inevitably is.

Go away.....Premium is worth it for me you also get YT music and some other perks.
I’ve maybe made 2 comments in my life and they were both debunking @Zee09 s dribble.
When has anything remotely related to google had any morals ?

The very worst of YT (imo) is that they outright support animal cruelty. Big time. For example there's this one YT channel called (ironically) "We Love Animals" where nearly every day they post some poor animal that looks exhausted, terrified and in perilous situations and they claim to be "rescuing" these animals.
Notice I said nearly every day...they just happen to come across a cat, dog, doe or just about any animal that, without their help...is doomed. Animals in the ocean miles from shore (they just happened to find them (repeatedly), or on the side of the highway (MANY times) (how many times have you seen a wounded animal alive but dying on the side of the hwy?
It's absurd that so many naive people give them millions of views and so reward them financially for this awful abuse. Of course, they are in foreign countries....no contact address...no phone numbers... just great people saving animals near death every day <sarcasm>
YT knows this is going on but won't stop it. They even seem to encourage it. Pure evil imo.
some people couldn't care less as long as they get entertained. I would be just as angry if they were promoting child abuse.

Good. Spread the word if you can. People don't know what's going on and are funding these evil people.
I use Rumble as much as possible. People are still extremely loyal to YT regardless. Even self proclaimed Christians. I know they make money on advertising (not viewing videos, that actually costs them bandwith) and as such will never click on a link on YT even to look into an item of interest. I open a new browser and look up the company or product with no YT encodings in the link.
