90% of my usage is on Mobile and through my Roku TV which both use specific apps to view YouTube. That's my problem.
I can use revanced to change the app on my phone, or download another app like NewPipe and that would work for a bit. But the hoops I'm referring to are when the apps get banned and need to be updated to work again, AND the hoops I feel I'd need to go to for an ad blocker at the router level so my Roku TV won't show ads through YouTube. (Though I should probably look into that anyway to get rid of ads on my TVs home screen).
It just feels like a hassle to me, and I'm paying $8/mo as a student anyway so it's pretty cheap too.

What you need Google to spoon feed you and wipe your ass too?
Yea, just install an extension, it's like four clicks
I don't get a single ad when I browse YouTube via Opera, both on android and desktop. No addons needed.
Opera is chromium-based so I'm not sure how the new google direction will affect them
And if you sync your stuff with Firefox Sync or Google it literally pulls it back automatically when you first login.
Really, every youtuber complains that ad revenue isn't great. If you want to support a content creator, drop a few coins their way
