Block the ads. You have every right to do so. There is zero obligation to watch ads. If a company like Google can afford to operate a service like YouTube, then putting it up in the first place is the cost of doing business. I happily block ads on all devices I use and am in control over, even at work.
Pi-hole, uBlock Origin (even kills the adblock detectors), Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes, Tracking Token Stripper, Webmail Ad Blocker, etc.
Ads. What ads? You have a VPN set up on your home network, you can pass your mobile phone through it so as not to get ads even while away.
Haven't found a good way to do that on my tablet (iPad), yet.
I have tried adding known ad-networks to my router-blocklist, it does not seem to impact YouTube at all.
I guess I really gotta look into building myself a Pi-hole.
