There are ads on YouTube? Not for me, which I take as a sign that my ad blocking methods are working

This is great until you realize that Youtube is the only platform who can afford such user behavior. It's just another moat for them.

What ad blockers work on YouTube? Anything in iOS that is known to work?

Don't know about iOS, on Firefox (Linux and Android) uBlock Origin works. On Android you can also use Newpipe [1] for an ad-free Youtube experience. There is another app called Musicpiped [2] which plays ad-free audio-only versions of Youtube content, as the name implies this is mostly meant for music but it can also be used for lectures etc.
