I use an Apple TV, but I assume it’s the same as any other streaming box or appropriate smart TV.

The absolute piece-of-piss way to block all YouTube ads on it is to install a VPN like Proton, choose a relevant country (easily googleable), and there will be no ads whatsoever in YouTube.

Google doesn’t serve ads on YouTube in a handful of countries.
