That works well on a desktop browser, but the YouTube ads are still a problem on iOS and other platforms like smart TVS, Roku or Chromecast/Google TV.
Cancel Spotify, buy YouTube premium. Get both ad free videos and music on the same platform.

YouTube is at least as good as the vinyl record player. It is also the sole location for countless live audio/video recordings of musical performance. It works fine as a “music playback app” and is, to emphasize, an _awesome_ and convenient resource of live music performance.
The NewPipe Android app is another option and there is a fork that includes SponsorBlock: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe/releases
In-video youtube sponsors were some of the last advertising I was exposed to. Glad to be rid of them.
Not for me. (Typed from iOS + Brave.)
