I unfortunately have a youtube addiction but I have canceled my subscription and will be using proper adblocking at home and alternatives like piped on mobile.

worth checking out https://grayjay.app/. It's new, but comes from Futo/Louis Rossman. It's in alpha/beta right now but the concept is pretty neat. Think of it as the Pigeon/Trillian of instant messengers. (do need android I believe)

If you're even remotely tech savvy you can setup pihole as your router and you'll get no ads on any device.

Edit: Fastest way to a correct answer on the Internet is an incorrect answer. Pihole doesn't work for YouTube, but there are solutions in the comments!
