Here is every single way I can think of to block YouTube ads:
uBlock Origin + Firefox
NewPipe on Android
Libretube on Android
uYou+ on iOS
FreeTube on *NIX and Windows
yt-dlp + mpv
YouTube Revanced
Invidious self hosting
Piped self hosting
And finally, last and definitely least
YouTube Premium
Donate to the creators who make content. Google does not deserve a penny of your hard earned money.
I read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.

Then stop using youtube. It sucks ever since googol bought it. Haven't used it since.

There's some A/B testing going on, for sure. My ublock origin on Firefox has never had issues
Enjoy it!

Ask ChatGPT and get back to us with the answer.
ChatGPT will give me wrong information as always

I’m actually looking to start a YouTube channel, but I don’t know if I should even bother since YouTube seems to be going out of its way to try to kill itself
Since you're already in the Fediverse, I'd suggest looking into PeerTube for your videos rather than going to YouTube as your primary platform.
I currently have a channel, but am going to switch to PeerTube when I have my backlog built up again so I can post in a steady schedule. (Workin' on it...) The only things I'm going to put on YouTube are videos going, 'Hey! I have the video up here! Follow the link!' so that people can actually find it and Words of the Week shorts 'cuz I don't want to feed their AI bullshit that I can't get away from with proper stuff and it's just stick figures and rudimentary drawings with words from the dictionary. Unfortunately, it's not as user friendly to search for stuff on PeerTube as it is on YouTube. I'm hoping that gets fixed sooner rather than later. It'll make things better. sigh

I'm grateful I have a job so I can afford premium
I can afford it too, but I won't pay for it on general principle when it costs more than Prime and Tidal combined.

You can skip or avoid ads on YouTube, so meh.
What really grinds my gears though, is the stupid, fucking algorhythm, which routinely offers me videos I just recently watched, vids in languages that I can't speak, "current" affairs stories that are years old, and channels/vids that I have specifically blocked. I curse YouTube daily, but will bless anyone who has a viable alternative.... -
They’re blocking it actively now. For me, it requires a tampermonkey script to bypass the blocker check in Firefox.
I have no issues on Firefox or Brave. I never see ads.

I believe you're thinking of premium lite, or whatever they call it.

Open it via Duckduckgo, the player will show it without any ads or tracking.

I guess there's no reason not to post to other sites as well?

I can afford to pay the protection racket, I just choose not to.

There's also Pipeline for *nix (and possibly Windows, but I didn't bother to check.)

We do, but you probably don't like it (TikTok).

You’re right
I meant idk something like Oddysse (but a website with actual moderation)

By operating youtube at a loss for many years Google acted anticompetitively to kill competition or stop competition arising. Now that they've achieved that they can do what they like. Don't feel bad using ad blockers against this anti-capitalist company.

Final stage of enshittification, now they are allowing more right wing propaganda than normal on the channel

Now it starting to push right wing propaganda if your not logged in, and recently they said they are allowing even more now
