True, even Kids program they also put a long unskip-able ads, this is wayyyy to much until I want to block it, and don't want to pay a single cent to YouTube Premium !
The YouTube Kid app in SmartTV they even put a 4mins cartoon ads in a 2 mins kid music video.

I understand they need profit to provide us free service, but I accepted that if only few second of ads, have no complain last time. But then they make way too much, in a 10min videos, they insert 3 to 4 ads in the middle, I was like what the heck ?

So, buy a Mac Mini and solve it.  brows.gif

Yes can, You do that by buying an apps call "AdGaurd" in App Store, Rm20.90 per year only, it block all ads including sponsor/useless intro section in every videos, and it also block all flying ads in majority website, you can turn it off for some web make it in allow list.

The only thing is, you can't use YouTube app to view youtube, need to use Safari. (I find it better than YouTube App), You can view same 4K/8K video with HDR, all function is same.

There is 2 ways to block, 1 is free, 1 is paid app.

If you use chrome, search Google with an Chrome Extension call : Adguard , it is free Chrome Plug-in, after install Pin it in Extension section, and run it. It will block all Youtube ads.

For Safari, you need to purchase an app in App store call AdGuard, for RM20.90 per years, but the good thing is, once purchased it will also able to install in your iPad/pro iPhone, and use it both MacOS and IpadOS, iOS, all now ads free.

if like that it is the same as a desktop, we can easily block ad for youtube but not on an app like on iphone or even a tv.

then to me it is not a 'solution' actually. the experience of watching youtube via safari on an iphone is not good.
