Ad blockers work for me on youtube, though with hiccups. I figure that when that stops working I’ll use youtube less, it’s already a time sink. And will also dust off torrent clients.
I definitely stopped watching Twitch when the adblockers stopped working, not sure I can do it for youtube, but I hope I'd quit.
There are adblockers that work for twitch without issue.
I created a separate work YouTube account, and now all of the ads are just pitches for various kinds of enterprise SaaS products.
Have to admit, ad-free is worth it but I also hate the feeling of being locked in.
