Or just use uBlock origin which is free

It probably doesn't work on the youtube app for iPad Pro / my Android phone, so I also payed for it.

And sure, it feels bad that there are lots of in-video advertisements, but I deal with it

NewPipe or Youtube Vanced for android.

Last time I saw an ad on youtube was months ago on someone elses device.

Every time YouTube premium comes up, somebody mentions ublock origin failing to realize that a lot of people use devices other than a personal computer to watch videos (chrome cast, smart tv, phone, etc).

You could also set up something like Pi-Hole.

doesn't work well on youtube ads

Doesn’t work with the YT ads. Their apps bypass your dns and you can’t tell the ad traffic apart to block it. uBO only works well in the browser.

Pro tip: compare prices for online services across countries. Netflix, YT, etc are 1/10th of the price in places like Argentina, turkey, etc. And the savings are just one vpn connection away to signup (you don’t usually need a vpn afterwards to use it)

An ad-blocker does the same for free. And both methods don't get rid of sponsor ads within the video.

The extension "SponsorBlock" works well for desktop browsers, it accepts user contributed segments to cut out sponsorships.

It's $12, not 10.
