EDIT: on the other hand, a few days back I accidentally used private browsing on a technical video and got a few of those mythical good ads of the sort that inform you about a genuinely interesting and relevant product you didn't know about. So maybe it's not the worst thing ever.

It's not been blocking youtube ads for me for a week or two.

Or remove the video from your Watch History after watching it.
