Pro-tip: Watch youtube on firefox/etc with a bunch of ad blockers. No ads.

Ublock origin is enough :p

Sponsor block is a nice extra though

I just avoid channels with annoying sponsor segments, that has been a pretty good filter which also largely avoids clickbaity titles, since they seem to go hand in hand.

It really is a pro tip, when installing more than one ad blocker is just gonna make for a worse experience, never mind the fact that it's going to make the ad blcokers themselves actually not work the way they're supposed to.
