I don't care about video comments anymore; in my experience it was filled with attention-seeking content and incels trying to look cool. It's also full of bots in the reply sections.

Instead, I use mpv media player to watch YouTube. I pick a video off my recommendations or the subscription page then I copy the video link and then I just have to do mpv <video link> in my terminal. It's also much faster on my low-end PC.

It doesn't have sponser-block support, but it does have ad-blocker. I haven't really checked sponser-block support yet either.

Edit: found this for sponser-block support.

HOWEVER, there's cases where you do want to be able to like and comment: My main use case for Youtube these days is following crafters, people who make awesome stuff. And i do want to like and comment on those videos, not just for the obvious feedback to them but also to give them a hand in spreading the word of their stuff.

There's even a firefox addon that lets you open videos in mpv with one click: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ff2mpv/

On macOS, I recommend a fork of mpv called IINA. It also has a Firefox addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-in-iina-x/
