Thanks for bringing this up, because it frustrates me as well. Most of the time I'm watching on a TV, and there's no way to block YT ads on a TV. The people I share my house with aren't technical and will watch YouTube even with ads. So to keep them out of my house I pay for YT premium.
Suggesting that people just do something technical and janky to block ads isn't a solution for me, not because I can't do it, but because there's no way my family will do it.
It has been frustrating to read the various solutions that are all for PC or mobile, but there are some good solutions in this thread. Mad_Punda, who also replied to you separately, had what - at a glance - seemed like a pretty viable solution. Hopefully the new receiver I mentioned fixes things for me, but if not, I'll be looking into his suggestion.
Good luck to you; though I don't wish you to suffer, it's nice to know I'm not alone.
I think there are ways, will likely vary by TV brand. I’ve set it up for my LG TV at home, it’s better than premium.
Edit: to clarify, I didn’t set up uBlock, I set up the TV with a patched TY app that has ad block and sponsor block. The latter makes it better than premium.
Oh and I can remove shorts.
