Have you tried Piped? It lets you watch Youtube without ads, though you can't use it to comment, but I say you should give it a try.

Installing ublock and sponsorblock is not jumping through hoops

And Google.with its basically infinite money should name it worthwhile to be paid for. But YouTube premium is garbage

I can't block the ads on my Roku TV, which is where most of my watching takes place.

I hate Ggle as a corporation, but LOVE YouTube. With that being said, FreeTube, NewPipe, and InnerTunes will be used by me until YouTube/Ggle goes bankrupt. After they replaced G**gle Play Music with YouTube music I want them to burn a fiery death.

Or you can use an ad-blocker. Also youtube is profitable just fine. If it wasn't Google would have shut it down a long time ago.

Creators also earn way more from Premium views than ad views.

I have no problem with services being ad-supported, and I also have no problem with them charging for a premium ad-free option.

People get so insufferably smug about this. Also, completely ignore the YouTube music bit, and just talk about how to block ads.
