I'm going to be super-mega-controversial here, and tell you all how I removed ads on YouTube:
YouTube Premium.
Yes, I realize it's not very common to pay for the services we use these days, but I watch enough YouTube that I though it'd be neat. It is. No ads, except the direct sponsors of the people I actually watch. I only wish that this would make them not also sell my data, and track the shit out me, and all that jazz. I'd like to be the customer, if you'd let me, Alphabet.
I've been paying for a family plan for Google's music streaming service for years. It has long included YouTube premium so the six family members I have on the plan don't see YouTube ads. I guess it's good that creators get a somewhat bigger cut of money from us, but honestly if I didn't use the music streaming service, I'd be in the same boat as everyone else - desperately looking for a better way to block ads.
