For me YT is without ads using Violentmonkey with these scripts:
But there are more and more YouTubers which promote products in their Videos and promotional videos between the shorts and other in the suggestions list, but at least they can be ignored or skipped.
Sponsorblock can be used to skip the ads content creators put into their videos
Ehm, yes and no, it can only if the sponsorblock is marked as such in the Video, but not if, for example the author, while he speaks about his teme, also said that he also want to agree the Energy Drink which sponsor his vids, presenting the Brand. That can't avoid none of the sponsor block scripts, because its in the same video presentation.It's exactly this what ocurres more and more.
