    There are ad blockers on mobile browsers, too. Besides, there are other ways to block ads, like DNS blocklists. Or if it’s just for Youtube use an alternative front-end like Piped or Invidious or Grayjay for built in ad- and Sponsorblock

      I’ve used the alternatives and the experience isn’t really nearly as polished and consistent as using the YouTube app, especially if you just want to sign in and use your YouTube account. I’m not saying premium is cheap but it’s really not out of the ordinary to pay for the service as some people think it is. There are also YouTube kids and music that provides some value.

      If there are DNS blocklists that work for YouTube, please provide a link or guide.
