Is there a good alternative way to watch YouTube without ads? My student discount for YT Premium is about to end and while I love having no ads, I'd prefer to spend that money on directly supporting creators through Patreon instead of paying YT directly.

Some of the self hosted options look promising, but it does appear that YT is blocking them.
