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 read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.
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.

WHY DONT WE HAVE A MAINSTREAM ALTERNATIVE YET
-
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
I guess there's no reason not to post to other sites as well?

I'm grateful I have a job so I can afford premium
I can afford to pay the protection racket, I just choose not to.

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.
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

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....Adblocks allow you to not have to skip the ads physically, the algorithm is something else though. Now it starting to push right wing propaganda if your not logged in, and recently they said they are allowing even more now

Then stop using youtube. It sucks ever since googol bought it. Haven't used it since.
That is right thinking. I admire that.

Jokes on you, YouTube, my Chinese phone rolls their ads over yours!

Do you know of PeerTube? It's not mainstream at all either, but it seems more known to me.
It's also in the fediverse, and isn't accused of the same moderation issues (though idk if PeerTube is really better than Odyssee at moderation, I suppose it's just a difference in policy).
Edit: I read a bit about it, and I can see I was wrong about Odyssee being less known than PeerTube. It's strange, I never heard of it, but anyway. Odyssee also includes some crypto bullshit, so yeah...

I was using libre tube for a while and that broke.
What's the best link for revanced?
Love libretube but it just wouldn't play videos consistently. Ended up moving to grayjay

What was much more annoying to me was the automatic audio translation (it's still available, but it seems YouTube doesn't select it automatically when you watch a video in another language).

Anyone not blocking ads on YouTube needs to start blocking ads and sponsored content on YouTube.

SponsorBlock is a crowdsourced browser extension to skip sponsor segments in YouTube videos.

I used enhancer but it seems the dev has stopped updating it for Firefox and only updating it for chrome.
Moved to Tweaks for YouTube and am quite happy with it so far; seems to also have more options.

Download Tweaks for YouTube for Firefox. Seek, navigate chapters, control volume, speed, and more with mouse and keyboard shortcuts. Adjust player controls, progress bar, subtitles, process audio, show playlist duration, take video snapshot, set initial volume, speed, resolution, and more.

When ads get in the way I simply don't watch the videos. It's not like anybody ever really needs to watch any particular video.
