Advertisements not blocked at a YouTube page

The affected video is linked from (not at) https://github.com/orgs/helloSystem/discussions/272#discussion-3730700

With the most recent visit:

1. a fifteen-second advertisement for Google Chrome (no surprise there)
2. more than two minutes (02:16) of Greg Secker's ludicrous dentures silently mouthing I don't know what about buying, selling, and a mash of two products neither of which I'll give him the pleasure of mentioning here (naturally, audio is muted)
3. the required video (02:29)

— exactly half of my time wasted by Google.

Environment:

• 2.6.16
• Firefox 120.0.1
• Google container (Mozilla's Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension)
• FreeBSD-CURRENT
• signed in to YouTube.

Side notes:

• an entirely different subject, I have not yet encountered the infamous detection by YouTube (I am subscribed to relevant topics)
• concerning Secker, https://old.reddit.com/r/UKPersonalFinance/comments/syqufp/how_are_these_fake_trading_gurus_still_getting/ and undoubtedly https://www.theguardian.com/business/2012/feb/12/this-man-could-nmake-you-rich-or-could-he

Remove a hyphen, and emphasise that Secker's teeth are as ludicrously fake as his infamous scams.

I do not have the ad with Firefox on Windows but I also have ublock origin as well.
