Description of the issue:
Pre-video ads on youtube are appearing again as of approx Feb 21 2024. A few times I could go to a different tab and return to find the ad gone, but that stopped working after about a day. Clearing the cache did nothing.
I notice that you are signed into your google account (noted by the J in the upper left hand corner of your screen shot right next to the alarm bell) while you are using youtube. Try signing out of your google account and try watching the video again.
You could also try clearing all history and cookies as well.
Let me know if the ad shows up again.
I also cleared cookies when I cleared the cache, which signed me out automatically. The ads remained, and continued when I signed back in. The screenshot is one instance with the video I checked repeatedly while troubleshooting, but it’s happening on all the videos I watch (with the exception of those by a friend who I know does not enable ads on their videos at all).
When you clear cookies and cache make sure you are also clearing your history as well.
