You can potentially install adblock and never see said ad (or any other ad) unless you need to disable adblock. It's a case of simple and effective retargetting.

I hate a lot of ads, but don't really think adblock is fair. If the ads in totality bug me enough, I might stop going to a site, upload elsewhere etc..

Adblock works for desktop browser. But I watch youtube on mobile or android media player in app mostly.

Would you be willing to use a mitm proxy as part of a VPN service to accomplish that?

There are ad-blockers for Android, they don't even require root on 4.x.

There are also WiFi routers that filter all traffic.
