Default Is there an ad-free YouTube clone for Windows like NewPipe is forAndroid?

It's not really a slipstream. It's actually pausing the video you are
intentionally viewing and playing an advertising video; which is
entirely seperate and can even be downloaded using the plugin I happen
to use, if I wanted to do so.

When I'm using the plugin to leech a specific video, it doesn't include
the slipstream advertising because youtube isn't 'streaming' the video
to me at this point and has no control over the process. Instead, it
established a direct download link and is pulling the video/audio file
I wanted. So, there's nothing for youtube to pause and swap out on me.
The only way youtube could get around that would be to actually embed
the advertising into the original video, and, since alot of videos have
different formats and quality options, they'd have to do it to all of
them. Wasting storage space and processor resources on their end. I
don't see them intentionally doing that anytime soon.
