People keep saying their iPad is a YT consumption device, but without ad blocking, how do you stay sane? I'm assuming if you're consuming that much YT content you've moved to a premium account or something? I don't use my tablet primarily for YT content, so it's rather jolting when I click a link somewhere and see the hell that is unblocked YT

Yes, YouTube premium, use it a lot to practice my guitar playing by playing along YouTube music videos with chords displayed.

Even with YT Premium, sponsor announcements are still an annoyance. Firefox with SponsorBlock helps with that, not sure if that's usable on iPad.

  It is not. However, the YouTube Labs “Jump Ahead” feature is basically the same thing. When a sponsor segment starts, double tap the right side of your screen and a “jump ahead” button will usually appear (it’s algorithmic based on user viewing patterns). It skips the ad just about every time. You’ll have to have Premium and enable this manually. And it might go away, it’s experimental. But also, iSponsorBlockTV is a great project. But it only works on Apple TV and other streaming TV YouTube apps.
