We'll see.At the moment I see any ads, nor nags in YT, using userscripts instead of extensions, but anyway I'm going to keep an eye on what's happening in Greasyfork and OpenuserJS regarding YT in the future, this in any case offers many more options than the castrated extensions that will be in the stores to be able to stay there.
Don't be too optimistic, you probably haven't seen it because it's not being rolled out universally just yet; they like to A/B test their massive feature changes.
We'll see, it's sad but anyway I can live without YT, I'v other sites in my bookmarks to watch and listen what I want, I can only recommend trying to find the alternatives that work for each person and send YT to hell.
