If you click the ad does the company have to pay like a fraction of a cent or something for a click through? Like if I always click on the ads can I make them pay for having waisted my time if it’s only a little bit?

That's the idea behind the AdNauseum browser extension. "Click" on every single ad so that the data becomes worthless and the companies that are advertising have a negative return on investment. But it does mean that the ad server company gets more money.

Might be contraproductive if google earns more with longer ads.

I have been using UBlock and Firefox... I always get mad when I can't get UBlock for the YouTube app of my phone

I don't know what everyone else is using, but Revanced works perfectly for me despite the exaggerated claims of its demise.

I've been using this one for years, which filters out ads and sponsor segments:

Only for Android though. If you use iOS, switch to Android and you'll also get a really Firefox browser with ublock origin that blocks all the ads compared to that 30something% what every iOS browser does.

Newpipe is fucking great. Does what I want it to and doesn't do what I don't want it to. Favorite thing about it is the ability to easily download video or audio.
