You can block YouTube ads on an iOS device by installing a content blocker app and just using Safari instead of the YouTube app. It's not ideal but it works ok.
To be fair you should probably be running adblockers/content blockers on Safari all the time anyway if you are using any iOS devices. The only extra step for YouTube is to also delete the YouTube app so that it won't always try to hijack every YouTube link you tap on.

Possible, sure, but a pain in the ass.
