Heads up; ads appear to be leaking into Smarttube. I just got a pop up ad (as in, an actual pop up). I'm on version 31.63.

Ad popped up in lower right hand corner while scrolling Recommended. Some kind of skin care thing.

I clicked disable - will see if that holds.

I expect this is fun and games on YTs end / will be patched out. But, if not, might be time to spin up Tube archivist.

Not sure. It's my understanding that google has been playing whackamole with m.youtube.com for a while.

They've repeatedly made changes that break or affect unofficial clients. Maybe the next trick is to find a way to bypass standard adblockers.

Could just be a tin-foil hat moment but I wouldn't put it past them.
