If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it’s gone. So Youtube being Youtube.

I don’t have premium, and I don’t see any ads either
Me neither. I have the combination of Firefox+uBlock origin+privacy Badger and I’m a pretty happy camper.
Firefox, UBO, Privacy Badger, and YT Premium. Sorry if I disappoint, but that family account with YT music is a great solution. Not to say I wouldn’t reconsider when prices increase…
Even on mobile? is there a solution that does not involve root access?
ReVanced if you want the original Youtube app

SmartTubeNext for AndroidTV
A number of player apps. I use PipePipe (Newpipe fork).
I use PipePipe too. Also has SponserBlock inbuilt. Make sure you enable it though.
Alternatively, Firefox and uBlock Origin works.
