But youtube has become impossible to watch with hideous intrusive
deviant advertisements... And google seem to have found a way to make
youtube-dl hopelessly slow. Not to mention that the YT viewer is
dire: you can't slow down or speed up etc like, say, mpv.

A bit off topic, I know...

Does anyone know of a way of accessing youtube nowadays without wasting
huge amounts of time and losing the will to live and all concentration
before getting to the proper topic (etc)?
