The docker section there is what I used.

Ublock Origin on Firefox With Sponsorblock is the answer.

Very likely - but that’s not going to happen. Some people will watch less, some will complain but keep watching the same amount, and the majority will just take it as a fact of life and not change their behaviour.
I think we've seen enough changes in social media platforms over the past few decades to say that your claim is true until it's not. As payments to content creators fall, and as garbage postings increase, the actual value to the average user of the site is clearly decreasing. So we'll see how long YouTube is relevant.

I watch youtube on a smart TV where I don't have a way to skip ads. I know there are ways to do it, I just never implemented.
The experience with Youtube is getting so much worse. It used to be one ad at the start of the video. Then it was two. And now ads in the middle of the video. They are also so long! It completely breaks the narrative of the video and is so distracting.
All of this just makes me want to watch less Youtube, which is likely not a bad thing.
When the ad is playing, are you able to press up a couple of times and click on the little (i)? It might then go to a "why am I seeing this ad" page which you can then click ok on then click on don't watch this ad again and it will skip the ad. Doesn't work if you're casting a video from a phone, and it doesn't work on some channels.

Content creators should just open a blog with magnet links

Just like lemmy, yet here we are. Sometimes we need to waste some time.
It's actually very important to "waste" some time. You can't be 100% productivity. It's unhealthy.
But youtube is actually set up to act as an algorythmic addiction.

Then they won't get that sweet ad money. They're part of the racket.

I hope I can be the motivation you need with these super simple steps (will take a few minutes).

Honestly I'm fine with sponsorship. I don't care if the guy sells a vpn or some shit
But yes that's a problem. It's like if anything artistic without immediate profit needs some sort of public funding to exist otherwise they end up being propaganda.

And ReVanced on Android, SmartTubeNext on Android TV.

You could see if an adblock dns works, you dont even have to set up pihole for that (its just local hosted adblock/whattheheckyouwant dns).
If it makes problems you can set it to default or cloudflare or somethingSetting another dns is in most cases just going to the settings and pasting a link
Edit: if you set the dns in your router it works at all devices at home
DNS blocking doesn't work on YouTube ads because they're served by the same domain of videos.

It's not. Alphabet is already making billions off our data. Just use uBlock or ReVanced or whatever and don't shovel more money into their greedy pockets.

I think it's back to just SmartTube. SmartTubeNext was a temporary thing to get SmartTube back on track iirc.

I am fairly certain SmartTubeNext was a rebrand by the same dev.
