Not Youtube's problem. Also ad block.

I can't help but notice the lack of YouTube ads. Are they being stripped out or something?

Things like blocking ads in YouTube videos, I guess.

I see ads in YouTube embeds all the time.

Youtube is unusable on any platform without ad blocking, so who cares :)
