Exactly this. I never see ads on youtube from my desktop, and I don't use youtube on phone. When a friend wants to show me some youtube video they like on their phone, its always a bit of shock how annoying those ads are. I don't have any premium account, just usual set of blockers.

I've became super allergic to ads generally quite some years ago, not watching any channel on TV, just movies/tv shows streamed from PC. Can't and won't go back, ever.

I feel the same way about being 'allergic' to ads. In contrast, when my friend watches youtube on the TV, he is bombarded by ads and doesn't seem to care at all.

I don't mind the premium to pay for ad free youtube. Also the free Play Music (RIP)

I would recommend Firefox focus for mobile. When navigating to the YouTube site I experience no ads.
