Unless you’re on an iPhone, setting up Revanced takes less than 10 minutes and very rarely breaks anything. If you want to support your YouTube creators, then sure pay for premium, but it baffles me how someone could have the technical prowess to set up a Lemmy account, but then balk at something like this. If anything, mobile might be one of the last frontiers now that they’re starting a war against adblock.
It’s a one click install on Firefox. Sponsorblock is more of a faff but I think it should work these days.
Revanced is a bit harder to set up though, but once you’ve done it you can use the same old APK for months or longer (not indefinitely because Google decided to put an expiry date on versions of Youtube, probably to keep their API support lifetime somewhat sane).
Honestly not worth the trouble on mobile

I use adblock on Firefox on my phone. Used to be fun to jailbreak and install my own apps and stuff, just getting lazier as I age I think
