    YouTube is testing a series of new unskippable 30-second ads that will appear far more often for viewers.

          I would disagree, you’re still directly communicating with YouTube servers without a proxy in-between. Invidious or Piped are the proxies you need, they let you blend in with the other users of their services making data-collection on YouTube’s part difficult.

          We need to make feeding the algorithm as difficult as possible.
