But you can listen to YouTube music for free too, no?

I think so, but with ads just like the free tier of Spotify.

Does Ublock Origin not work for it anymore? And for phones, there are alternative apps - I use InnerTune.

I use ublock on my phone as well. I set it up to play through FF and never access the YouTube app. Did it for my gf when she complained of ads, and then did it for my self it was so easy.

I don't remember the last time I saw an ad between us.

I don't watch YT from phone much, but I find Newpipe for videos to be a better experience than browser (it is also much lighter). And similarly Innertune for music.
