What is bizarre to me is that I have one google account and on a PC there are relatively few ads and they only occur after watching one or more videos. However, on mobile or a tablet I find that I have ads even before the first video and they are constant (every 10 minutes of video or so) and offer there’s more than one spot in each break... it's unwatchable so I don’t.

Because it's easy to block ads on PC, even for 50+ people. They can't push it hard there.

But there is a solution for phones aswell, YouTube Vanced. https://github.com/YTVanced
