Sometimes it doesn't. Then a few weeks later it works again. YouTube ads have gotten really bad. However, last night I was listening to my playlist on my phone (there's no ad blocker on my phone) and the ads weren't too bad. (15 sec skip at the beginning)

A year or so ago, I decided to listen to my playlist while I was out walking. (MPR player had died) OMG, it was torture.
