If you use browser plugins, it's still quite a nice experience.

* uBlock Origin (kills the ads)

* SponsorBlock (uses crowdsourcing to skip the sponsored, intros, self promotion, credits, etc. This cuts 10% to 20% from most videos, saving a lot of time)

* Channel Blocker (gives you a button to permanently block all videos from a channel)

* BlockTube (lets you block videos based on keywords in video titles)

* Unhook (removes recommended and suggested videos)

* Better Subscriptions for YouTube (lets you hide videos you've already watched from your subscriptions page and other pages)

Another popular YouTube plugin is 'Enhancer for YouTube', but personally I don't find this one very useful.
