All those videos come with ads. I can ignore ads on a web page, but I have
to sit through them in a video. That’s just me, though, don’t stop posting
interesting links.

Two options:

- Download youtube-dl (just a Python script) which can download videos
from various video-portals with several resolutions to choose from if
wanted. Ads are not part of it.

- Install a browser extension, which skips the ads.

Both working for me since years.

Well not "download". If using Linux, chances are it's already included.

Adblock plus removes all the ads from youtube videos.

The ATT video also has no advertisements. All in all, a good introduction.

If your browser is Chrome, yes, you are helpless. If it were Firefox, you would
have alternatives.

The uBlock Origin Chrome add-on is a very effective ad blocker, but
Google's getting ready to implement changes that will seriously cripple
ad blockers:

I, for one, appreciate the outline of the content with the links :).

Also, another couple options for ad-free Youtube viewing is sending
the Youtube links to Kodi, or using NewPipe mobile client.

Agreed, a bare utube link gets skipped, here.

I'm getting very fed up with them telling me my grammer is all done
wrongly.

/me too. But as no one commented on many links I posted where I outlined
the content anyway I didn't in this case.

I found that the MUTE button on the sound box is very helpful.
I can then look away from the screen and do something else,
until the ads are finished.

They can be appreciated without comments! :) Although, I must admit, I
missed them.

I said 'is' instead of 'are' in my original message.

I wasn't having a go at you; the main advert I get from Youtube is for
a thing called "Grammarly".
