I use vinegar on iOS, which exchanges the youtube player with a html5 play, at least in safari. No ads there

There will be a script to block their recognition just as there is a ton of scripts to work about other anti-adblocks. You could always go watch a video in incognito and just dont use your account.

Ultimatively this will lead to less interaction on the platform, their ads are so penetrant that you can’t even watch anything properly anymore, so more people will adblock -> get banned -> not interract anymore

Depending on what you’re watching, https://nebula.tv/ might be a very good alternative for thought-provoking content.
