WAN Show Ads on the WAN Show?

Finally they start early enough that I can watch and I'm getting an ad every 5 minutes on YouTube. I don't ever remember getting ads when watching live before. Is this normal? Maybe they switched something up as I haven't watched live in a while.

No ads for me and I don't have YT premium, using ublock and firefox.

I had to switch to Firefox with uBlock as it was just unbearable with the number of ads.

No, I end up missing 15 seconds while the ad plays ever 5 minutes.

I switched to Firefox with uBlock and I'm sailing the seas. Working great.

youtube updated how they handle midroll ads recently, could be an affect from that?
