How can people use #YouTube without @ublockorigin or paying for it?

I just tried to watch an assay via Tor Browser. 5 minutes 20 seconds into the video I had to view 2 pre video advertisements and 2 advertisements after 2 minutes 30 seconds and 2 advertisements after 5 minutes.

Now I do not want to watch YouTube anymore. I feel that I watched as many minutes/seconds advertisements as I watched wanted content.

I watch it with no real blocking and I don't get all that much ads. Whats annoying is they have infomercial type ads that if you don't hit skip will go on forever. I often put stuff on as background so im walking around and doing things and its like. ugh. gotta hit skip.
