Even with YT Premium, sponsor announcements are still an annoyance. Firefox with SponsorBlock helps with that, not sure if that's usable on iPad.

It is not.

However, the YouTube Labs “Jump Ahead” feature is basically the same thing. When a sponsor segment starts, double tap the right side of your screen and a “jump ahead” button will usually appear (it’s algorithmic based on user viewing patterns). It skips the ad just about every time.

You’ll have to have Premium and enable this manually. And it might go away, it’s experimental.

But also, iSponsorBlockTV is a great project. But it only works on Apple TV and other streaming TV YouTube apps.
