how do i get rid of a dang ad that has been following me around for weeks on youtube .

evry vidio. before anyone says anything . i shoot for fun . i shoot what i want to shoot for myself and with the rest of u.and no, my videos are not monitized as there are a lot of us who shoot for fun . i feel i am being held hostage by this ad. im glad it has a skip ad feature, but once is enough i want to vote on their proposition on the ballot in nov , but after this , i may not. yes i do have ad block and youtube has crashed through all my settings and prefferences. i finaly screamed in discust.

Google.com / your icon / select Manage Your Account / Data & Privacy

Then "Things you've done and places you've been" and then "Youtube History"

And clear (or whatever) your history so Youtube doesn't know much about you.
