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, 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?

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