      Let's take it from the start:
      I have an ad blocker. I have checked its settings and I have put an exception for youtube in its whitelist. I have tried disabling the extension but I get the same, no ads on youtube. So, it is not the add blocker.

      I have also checked Opera's settings and I have made sure that the built-in ad blocker is disabled.

      Still, no ads are shown in youtube.

      The strange thing is that when I open Opera in private mode and get to youtube, then it gives me ads! But only on private windows..

      I'm out of ideas. Anyone has a suggestion please?

        @vigasman Are you logged in when on YouTube? Did you try the required steps to try to solve issues?

                @leocg Yes, both with normal and private windows. And I get this behavior as soon as I install Opera, right after a format, so I actually did try the steps =). On two different computers! At some point I thought it might have been the antivirus, AVG, but I haven't found any such options there.

                  @vigasman When something works in private window but not on regular one, it usually means that an extension or a setting may be causing it.

                  Any difference if you watch the video without being logged in?

                    @leocg Nope. No difference. And now that I think of it, I get the same behavior from Vivaldi as well.. There's something going on with my system..

                          @athlonite I'd like to see ads on Youtube because this is the best way I can support the channels/creators I enjoy watching on my spare time. I also disable the ad-blocker on sites that I often use for the same reason.

                          Here's someone who can explain it better than me:
