Shorts ads use the older non litho player.

Hide like/dislike buttons also does not work for non-ad Shorts if spoofing to an older version.

Both of these might be fixed with the same change.

Ah, I see. The best solution would be to find a way to hide these Shorts Ads but we don't have a way to do that now, right?

On a semi non-related note, not once I've ran into a Shorts ad, and I watch Shorts relatively often. Are they region based or something?

Turning on 'switch notification' navigation button seems to turn off all video ads.
