Use a browser and uBlock Origin.
The YouTube app has become absolutely unbearable. Like please, I don’t want to play games within the YouTube app ffs.
And the browser rather Firefox based ( or at least any browser that supports mv2 ) and yes all of the branches of chromium will not be able to support mv2 forever as google will literally remove it from chromium next year.

Shh
My YouTube does not load ads. How do I fix it?
Edit: Ohhh I forgot I have uBlock Origin. Silly me.
I'm sure we've all experienced this to some extent, but I also feel like confirmation bias can play a large role here, so im curious. Is there actually something running in the background that boosts ads over actual content? Is there any literature or first hand employee (YouTube or similar) experience on this
Different CDNs, I believe
CDN would be my guess as well. Maybe not different, but they would definitely have their ads queued up on every CDN possible while the video content is unlikely to be on your nearest CDN unless it's a Mr. Beast video
Remember when ads were just popup banners on the bottom of the screen?
You dont have this problem nor ads if you download the content in advance with a yt-dlp script.
Which can be obtained here.
User internet issue.
YouTube works fine loading content.
