My chromecast doesn't block ads, i'll pay for the service specifically for this

Instead of paying $9.99 monthly (forever) why not just buy one of those "TV on a stick" devices [0] (a one time purchase) and run a web browser+uBlock?

Because the experience and usability of a chromecast is much MUCH better than what you are suggesting.
