Oof I think this service is only worth it if you have a family plan and everyone helping. That is how I personally make it reasonable in terms of pricing.

but like who doesn’t use an AdBlocker these days

Hard to do from a game console or Chromecast, which happen to be the two methods I use most often for watching YouTube.

If you got an apple device safari is fantastic when it comes to just air playing YouTube videos without ads. Sponsorblock extension works too and skips them. No messing around with third party apps installs.

Although, I'm not sure if consoles or chrome cast have airplay support.

On my Chromecast, I use this wonderful app: SmartTube

If you use the older Chromecast dongle that doesn't have android TV and no remote (the circular ones) you should be able to use castblock to auto mute ads and automatically press the skip button as soon as it shows up. It also has sponsorblock support so it will auto skip sponsor segments too. You just have to run the program on the same network with flags specifying you want it to mute ads, skip ads, and give it the list of sponsorblock segment types to skip and it'll auto detect any Chromecasts and do it's auto skipping and muting magic
