2. Use a mental block
Close your eyes for 8s - 25 min, and pretend not to hear anything

3. What? I can't hear you!
Why play one ad when you can play a dozen. Open multiple YouTube tabs at once and let the ads roll at the same time. A few minutes of noise for a whole few minutes of ad-free play

4. Use AdBlock Premium Plus
Of course, the best block is not loading the ads. Using the discount code AFFILIATEWHORE you can get a one year Pro plan for AdBlock Premium with six months free for just $169,- per year and enjoy the ad-free experience you deserve.

^(/s, of course)

In mobile I unironically turns off the volume while ad is playing. Also minimize the video.

Or use vanced.

The last can't easily be sarcasm. In app adblockers like Adguard do have a premium subscription option(I had one for a year back in the day, yes, stupid me) and I won't be surprised if in the future some adblocker comes with such an option(should Raymond Hill stop working on uBlock Origin for whatever reason and the community couldn't pick the development up that good).

I unironically use the 3rd option to support creators. I still use adblock if the creator isn't monetized or it's content that probably shouldn't be getting monetized (eg. rips of game OSTs not by the game dev)
