A little while ago youtube started a war against ad-blockers, slowly but surely they are targeting everyone who uses their platform demanding you to stop using ad-blockers or to pay them for youtube premium.
Personally i hate watching ads, no one tells / demands me to go trough 30seconds of garbage just so they can make a profit off of me, In a way they are stealing your time / taking you ''hostage'' if you want to make use of basically the internet. i have 0 trust in youtube (Big tech companies) for obvious reasons. It is no ones business what i do / watch online, for this reason i have done a little bit of digging to find ways around big tech and get back some of my online anonymity, freedom and security.
--------
1. There are alternative platforms for video's etc. I highly recommend downloading the NoScript addon, other than that if you want to stay anonymous use the TOR browser.
Alternative platforms:
a. Bitchute
b. Odysee
c. Rumble
d. Peertube
2. besides alternative platforms, there are ways to watch youtube trough certain apps, one such app is freetube and is available for android, pc, linux etc. I recently downloaded it, and i must say it is a great app, works pretty well, very responsive, can recommend. Be aware! as always there are harmful clones around, so do a little bit of research before downloading.
Name of the app: Freetube

3. This is best thing i have found, there is a company called Futo, This company has brought an app to the market that combines all of the streaming services like youtube, rumble etc. it lets you watch and download videos without being traced and without ads.
This app is called Grayjay, it is open source, you can use it for free but they do ask you pay for the product (In good trust, so if you do not want to pay you don't need to). This app is only available on android.

I hope these recommendations have been of help to my brothers and sisters! If you find something is missing please share your findings
