I’m sure almost nobody will get to the point where they land on this blog to figure out how to disable YouTube ads on their YouTube videos, but in case your googling around leads you here, I’ll explain how it’s done:

• When logged in to YouTube, at the top right click your username and a dropdown menu will appear.
• Click “Settings”
• Click “Manage Account”
• Then under “Content Displayed With My Videos” click “Do Not Allow Advertisements”

It’s such a simple thing, but it took me forever to figure out!
