Same issue here on my iPad 6th Gen with iOS 15.4 (installed w/ TrollStore). Also seeing the sponsored banner ads at the top of the homepage.

Wondering if this is due to the server side injection of ads from YouTube? I faced the same issue as well on my app. No ads yet on my PC (UblockOrgin + Chrome).

Probably because of this. I can't reproduce on purpose myself, yesterday was watching quite a bit and never got an ad. Typical YouTube A/B testing I suppose.

I’m not experiencing any embedded ads, but I am occasionally seeing the banner ads at the top of the Home playlist.

I meant that this still doesn’t block the ads as well

Also have this issue. iPhone 12 Pro Max 17.5.1 IOS 4.0 YT lite plus. My theory is that its the new ad injection T_T

I doubt it but maybe

From what I’ve discovered through testing is that Google has started implementing these changes within the last few versions. I’ve gone back to 19.21.3. So far it seems to have dealt with the injection and banner issues.

Edit: Spoke too soon, I’m still getting banners. But no injections, so that’s a plus.

Update: I’m occasionally getting injected pre-roll ads in videos, usually on channels that are high traffic money makers.

This happened to me too. It seems to be random when an ad shows up.
