May I just say "Elbows Up" and let you know that on my most recent
trip to BC, I brought home more Canadian Whisky and Maple Syrup than I
have ever done before. Anything to help the cause!

Well Thanks muchly. Enjoy both ...
Our Ontario Premier made a great show of dumping a big bottle
of Canadian whisky on the ground ! recently - Crown Royal -
- to protest the big foreign-owned company moving a bottling plant
to the USA.

Really ? For these three links I see :

: zero adverts
: 1 short skippable advert at the start
: zero adverts

And I don't have any youtube subscription or anything -
- is yours worse than that ?
Even when I watch a full set video on youtube 30 - 40 minutes
I'll usually see only the one advert ..

That makes me wonder even more about
Soups advert situation .. ?
Perhaps it isn't youtube but some other
advert - bot-thing ... ?

I don't see ads, at all. I can't imagine not having them blocked.

I use my normal browser and an ad blocker.

Problem is when I do that, I get the first half second or so, then it
pauses, pressing "play" will give me another couple of frames, and so
on.

What I have been using with varying degrees of success is "Freetube",
which is a standalone program (rather than a website). That usually
works, but has occasional spasms of IP addresses being blocked.

Personally I prefer Vivaldi, which has ad and tracker blocking, really though anything is better than the basic ones which don't block anything.

For YT I use Tampermonkey and this https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/386925-youtube-ad-cleaner-include-non-skippable-ads-works

No adverts and no playback issues. I also have ublock origin for everything else. :-)

I use Freetube but it does regularly fail to play videos. However,
Youtube in Chrome with Stands Adblocker and uBlock Origin Lite doesn't
show any adverts, so that'll do for me.

I only tried it to see if I could get the adblocker to work without an extra extension and ended up keeping it for everything.

I got the Vivaldi adblocker doing everything but Youtube and weirdly Lidl so I have ublock again. Tampermonkey does lots of Youtube scripts, I wrote one to switch to recently uploaded as I do this manually every time anyway. :-)
