It looks like there were changes made to youtube that push more embedded video ads. If you have an ad blocker such as ghostery it will now completely break youtube videos. I for one wasn't to pleased about that and with my ad blocker disabled I was seeing quite a few ads. Needless to say I changed my Sirius XM subscription to all access for $5 more which includes streaming from any device.

Hmm I have not noticed this using uBlock Origin for blocking, YouTube seems to be fine.
