At some point they'll just embed into the video stream. TBH I had assumed they were already doing this.

EDIT: Still, point taken. I'll try to figure out how to install this on my home router—I don't ever watch youtube from my browser.

They have, and for that we have SponsorBlock https://sponsor.ajay.app/

And the irony is that if you pay for YouTube Premium, you still get these baked-in ads :/

What's ironic about it? YouTube premium removes ads that YouTube adds to videos. Those sponsor ads in the videos are put there by the content creator who made the video.

There's a different extension to auto skip the (community defined) ad segments in videos. There will always be a way.
