 Youtube has an AD Problem   Summary   TL;DR YouTube appears to have removed the close button from side panel ads. The removal of the button means that mobile ad side panels can no longer be dismissed.       Quotes Quote   This update removes the “X” you would normally tap on to close out this side panel. As a result, there is now no way to dismiss the side panel when it shows up. My thoughts without any ad blockers this will be more of an issue, plus ads on platforms like thi have been a problem for a while now, youtube somehow made it worse then ever   Sources  https://www.androidauthority.com/youtube-side-panel-ad-update-3612988/
