Not really an issue with YT video ads though right? They're just annoying and too frequent but they're not really hazardous (beyond some cognitohazard of random crank stuff).

Ads drive consumerism which comes with a rather large pollution problem, making the only planet we can live on that we know of more and more uninhabitable.

They're not running third party JS on your machine; just a video.

AFAIK they don't get to run any scripts on your browser they just get to upload and YT plays the video.
