Reloading prohibits most video ads!

The page-reloading habit of this script prevents most video ads from playing at all... This script would need to be made to parse YouTube constantly and update the link when the user is clicks it. Considering using Adblock's functionality and using it just on YouTube.

Also the instructions in the code are a bit unclear, i made it work with channel ids by changing

var link = document.querySelector('[id="watch7-user-header"] a[href^="/user/"]');
    if ( link === null ) {
        link = document.querySelector('[id="watch7-user-header"] a[href^="/channel/"]');
        if ( link === null)
            return;

to

var link = document.querySelector('[id="watch7-user-header"] a[href^="/channel/"]');
if ( link === null ) {
link = document.querySelector('[id="watch7-user-header"] a[href^="/channel/"]');
if ( link === null)
return;

Using it with channel ids since it is easy to pull them from www.youtube.com/subscription_manager

edited to remove the youtube preview from above link since apparrently someone (@greasyfork) really wants it inline....

Perhaps something from here would help: https://greasyfork.org/fi/forum/discussion/7954/x

Tried this with uBlock, but naturally it doesn't work with it. The script modifies the URL without reloading, but uBlock still blocks everything!
