YouTube app on Samsung UHD TV

[Captain]

Hi all, currently have a Samsung KS7000 UHD TV, I've noticed over the last week that using the YouTube app that's built in, I'm getting adverts every 1-2 minutes no matter what I watch.

It's beyond a joke now where I can't even watch a 2 minute video without having at least 1 advert interrupt the video.

I have reinstalled the app but no luck, I've looked for ad blockers for smart TV but none have actually worked.

Anyone else noticed this?

Cast to your TV from your phone and let it launch your TV YouTube app. Is it still the same then.?

Yeah no different, I also now get 2 adverts together, always one for Squarespace and one for some stupid chilli restaurant.

Sounds like a update to the YouTube app on the tv and then forcing these adverts. Can't think why else it would suddenly do this but it looks and sounds arwful.

It is awful, it's either put up with adverts or subscribe to YouTube red but that's not happening, I'll just stick to using YouTube through windows with adblock.
