For me, it was about being able to watch yt on my tv and mobile devices which are not able to block ads as easily as a desktop browser. I have a pihole on my home network, but it hasn't been able to block yt ads for a few years.

I've been using this to automatically skip ads on my Chromecasts (youtube ads and in video segments) for the past year.

It's literally sponsor block but for all of my Chromecasts
