I will say that paying for YouTube premium is worth for me. I hate ads so much.

No amount of paying for things beats the experience of a decent ad-blocker.

Ublock Origin would save you the ads.

Not on most mobile devices, or the native YouTube app on smart TVs.

I haven't tried it to block YouTube ads on mobile yet, but maybe services like https://nextdns.io can help.

I have ublock origin running on firefox on my andriod.
