I also highly recommend turning on uBlocks filter list for cookie banners. Works on YTs cookie banner too.
I watch primaly on my PS4, is there a network based solution?
PiHole
YouTube serves ads from the same domains that serves the video so you can't block ads with pihole for YouTube
Quick google search suggests the ads come from same domain as youtube, so wouldnt be blocked.

Drink the verification can
That meme was prophetic.
Recently heard about ads that make you take a quiz at the end to make sure you were paying attention, we're not far now...
in a dystopian future, not so distant they will obligate you have a cam connected all times to track your eyes movement to make sure that you saw the ads
Neuralink beaming unskippable ads into your head
You won't even know they're ads, it will just implant false childhood memories, giving you positive associations with the brand.

I usually don't watch YouTube on my playstation but yesterday I did and every 10 minutes it played a 2-minute unskippable ad and I simply turned off my TV. 10/10 very effective.

Ad pauses until your eye tracking shows you are engaging with the Ad. (The future)
Watch me fuck off from the platform at the speed of light - I am already halfway from going full "fuck it, let's pretend it's '99" and hanging out on phpbb forums and Neocities.

That’s when I copy the URL, close the window, and download the video without the ad.
Downie for MacOS or yt-dlp at the command line. When those stop working, and if there’s no alternative, I will stop watching YT videos. I will not be harassed by ads. There’s already more content than I have time to consume.
Why don't you just use a youtube player that filters the ads out? Seems like extra steps.

The sheer sense of smug power I feel when hitting the mute button
Literally with any ad nowadays. I immediately tune out all my sensory organs

Any adblocks x smart TV?
SmartTube if it's an Android TV.
Edit: Use the link in the reply below. I've had it installed for years, didn't realise it's changed 😁 Thanks, perfectly_boiled_pizza
Download and install the APK through Downloader app or USB, only takes a few mins following instructions.
Devs keep it very regularly up to date. SponsorBlock included. Many excellent additional features making it way better at being YouTube than the YouTube app could ever be.
That's not the official site. It has an old version (July 2024) and the file might contain malware. You can safely download the latest version from GitHub and find their updated guide there.
If you don't want to use Github, you can use the site they have linked to which is https://smarttubeapp.github.io/

The only ads Ive watched in the past year were ads from flex seal and tim henson, and those were technically just videos.
If ads were like that I wouldnt mind them as much
My goal is to never buy anything that they ad. I can't always avoid it, but i largely do.
Robert Rankin’s “Armageddon” trilogy has something like this, where Actively Viewing pays you rehousing credits, so the main character has developed away to sleep with his eyes wide open, as if actually watching the screen.
Press M for mute. Most adds' sound design is awful.
