I have actively returned to using my computer to watch YT/Hulu because the overhead of seeing the ads is just too high on our TV.

Same. I have Google TV and YouTube in there for me is now unusable due to the number of ads. It feels like it's gotten twice as bad in the last 6 months.

On Android, I use Newpipe (via F-Droid). On laptop/desktop I use uBlock and SponsorBlock which do a great job together.
