Sounds like you need uBlock Origin or Invidious/NewPipe.

I have uBlock on my PC, but not on my phone
Firefox mobile and uBlock origin
Might need to uninstall/disable videos opening in the YouTube app but yeah this combo works great.
Super easy to add. Takes less time than sitting through an unskippable YouTube ad.
Look up YouTube revanced :)
revanced/uyou
Not many people here I guess, because most people here use ad blockers.
I have Ublock Origin and use Revanced
So no :p
Can confirm Ublock Origin is an absolute godsend! YouTube forcing me to watch multiple 3-minute long ads just to watch a 2-minute video was driving me nuts!
Honestly I would probably just stop using YouTube altogether if I was forced to use it unmodified.
Naw, haven't seen an ad in years, because I use Adblockers.
Sounds awful though.
I haven't seen those ads or any other since I've got an ad blocker
I haven't seen a YouTube ad in over a decade.
My friend. Revanced is the solution to your troubles.
What is YouTube?
I use Libretube so... No.
None, YouTube thinks I am interested in gambling and electric cars. I am interested in neither.
Iβm bombarded with haircare product adsβI have literally not used shampoo in ten years. I just rinse my hair in the shower with water and itβs all great. Iβm so glad YT is so off.
I get ads in Spanish and Korean on my TV. And I don't speak either of them.
Really?
Have you seen the new DeLorean (Alpha 5)? π
I couldn't stop giggling at the ad banner I saw for it. Something about imagining Godzilla gnawing on a kong (Dog toy) and losing.
I'm more swarmed with the fact that when I updated my repatched yt app I now have to open videos in Newpipe because videos will usually within in the first couple minutes go to the black buffer screen indefinitely.
I thought i was the only one. Also using newpipe lol
Grayjay.app also no ads here
I pay for premium, haven't seen an ad in years.
Premium gang.
