3. Some are YouTube videos so I have no control over the ads. Get an ad blocker or YouTube Premium.

I never see any ads. If you don't like them, don't click on the non-twitter videos. Simple.

4. First of all the videos have no warning that there are ads in them until after you clicked ...

on them. Second of all, I'm not going to pay a you tube premium of 42$ a month to block ads. And now, just to block these ads I have to get another ad blocker? Yeah, right, this is not as simple as you claim it is.

6. It's $9.95/month, not $42; and if you don't want to watch, don't click on it.

Why are you busting my chops about this? I didn't put those ads in there. And I mean this in the nicest possible way: grow up. Jeez.

Malwarebytes will get most of it.

https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

If that doesn't work you may need the assistance of someone who's experienced at removing the worst-of-the-worst viruses and malware.

Then install uBlock Origin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock_Origin

It's available as an extension for most browsers. Get it from your browser's secure web store, not some random place on the internet.

I turn off ad blocking for any sites I wish to support, so long as they have well behaved ads.

Occasionally I'll blacklist sites with obnoxious intrusive advertising or content so I'll never land there, not even by accident.

...and the dogs usually greeted me just as they did the lady in the video. The cats...? "Oh--are you home? *Yawn* You know of course that my bowl is empty. If you fill it immediately, I might just not regard this as a terminal infraction of your duties to me, and deign to rub your leg later. If I'm in the mood."
