Honest answer: Using my extension -
https://getadblock.com/ - You
occasionally get a blank screen when you start a new video session. A little box is lower right of screen that says 'Skip ad' (This is indeed the ad being blocked) - Click it and video starts. No ads in the vids themselves. Next video wont have any ads, or need to click the skip ad thing - it will usually only appear on the first video. Then after a week or two, the algorithm will update and that wont happen at all. Then it will re-appear a month or so later when youtube change their algorithm. But adblock will update in a week or so and it will be gone again.
Other than that one tiny issue, its a buttery smooth ad free youtube experience
Give it a try - Its a legit extension, Ive used for over 10 years. You can always disable / uninstall it with a click.
If you are on mobile, just use youtube vanced -
https://vancedapp.com/ - a legit version of youtube itself, but without adverts...
