Forcing me to watch an ad that takes 5 seconds to even start then after said ad the video freezes and doesn’t even play requiring a page refresh just to watch something. I’m ready for the alternative to arrive.

There are no video ads if you pay for YouTube Premium (outside of embedded paid sponsor stuff added by the video producers themselves).

Or even better: youtube in the browser, with ublock origin + sponsorblock, and Youtube becomes at least less annoying.
