I am for sure one of the smaller number of people doing this, but I watch YouTube on my TV using the TV app. As a result I always had to watch ads. I wish I could avoid them. I suppose a could watch from an alternative and then AirPlay it to my TV, but that’s about it.

I bought a chromecast with google TV specifically for this purpose, with it you can download “SmartTube” and watch youtube completely ad-free
If you had an android device you’d be allowed to install an alternative YouTube app.

Same but with my PS5. But I don’t think there’s any way of getting an ad block on there

Just install smart tube
Changing your router DNS to something that blocks ads (or a pihole at home) and you’ll never have to watch ads ever again, YouTube or elsewhere
YouTube video ads can’t be blocked with just DNS blocking unfortunately, they are served from the same hosts as YouTube videos.
Of course this is possible but this involves more than just pihole. I’m running this with a combo of adaway + mikrotik router with port based NATing.
People downvoting you are like the angrycry meme about the low to high IQ gauge.
This doesn’t work for many types of ads
Does a network pihole block YouTube ads?
