Want to watch, without an unskippable commercial or two in front, and without commercials in the middle interrupting the video? yt-dl.

  But you can uBlock it and not cause clutter on your disk.

    ublocking the ads is not always effective - downloading the video is always effective unless the creator stuffed their own ad into the video before uploading. You can also watch it in a proper player that gives you more control over playback than what the JS from google gives you. You can watch it anytime, anywhere, even when you are somewhere without an internet connection. You can watch it on any device capable of playing the content, whether or not those devices can access youtube directly and/or can stream from youtube. You can transcode it for playback on another device that is unable to play the original file. You can watch as much as you like, pause, take breaks, jump backwards, forwards, go into slow-motion, do frame steps, all without google recording your every interaction with the video.

      So add Sponsorblock on top for the first one?

    Except you can’t on mobile, and people only watch YouTube on mobile
