Why not just use an adblocker like uBlock Origin?
If you don't want to see ads, I assume you use an adblocker anyway, so you might as well use one that doesn't suck.

I actually am not aware of uBlock Origin. I'll take a look at it, thanks!
Believe it or not, I don't use an ad. blocker, I never have.
Being the 'chaotic good' person that I am, my family stopped trying to view entertainment content the normal legal way many years ago. I've been using a torrent friendly VPS in eastern Europe for quite a few years now to avoid any complications.
That, plus a little web service that presents youtube videos without commercials, gives us pretty reliable access to most anything we ever want to watch. The downside is that it's not setup to be 'live'. It can take a few hours to torrent it and then securely transfer home. But honestly that's kind of a feature.
To be clear, if there was an always works and reasonably priced way to legally view content, we would jump right on it.
But such a thing has yet to exist.
