If you're on a web browser, there are extensions that hide them (for now). That and members only and such.

Soon, assuming my setup continues to work, my youtube experience will be completely unlike the default: no shorts, no autoplay, no ads, no sidebar recommendations, homepage is subscriptions, no premium.

I'm bleeding them dry!

May I recommend de-arrow and sponsorblock as well?
