Theres a handy extension called sponsor block that skips sponsored content (and other non relevant content if you wish) from videos.
If you have both adblock and sponsorblock you can pretty much have a completely ad-free experience.
But at that point, is it fair to the creators? I guess as long as not enough people are aware then it's not a problem; though obviously not a solution.
In reality, the whole "creator economy" that's based on using the creators influence to sell products (which btw are almost always unrelated to what the creator actually does) seems to me like a problematic way of finding art and content.
