So I opened a private window on firefox to watch a music video and this is what I saw: https://ift.tt/zvCWUsh An unskippable 39 seconds Bumble ad, with no option to skip or anything, embedded right inside the YouTube video!! There are surprisingly no links for the brand or anything inside the video or below it. It just said to download their app from Playstore at the end of the ad video. This is what the actual video is supposed to look like for the reference:https://ift.tt/nDVuOHU Not only this, I also got another unskippable 20 seconds ad right after the first one. This doesn't happen in normal non-private windows yet (in my case at least).
