On desktop Chrome, a modern ad-blocking browser extension will block 100% of YouTube adverts. I haven't watched one, literally, in years. I don't watch YouTube from a mobile phone, but I think the situation is different. (Can anyone else comment about the mobile experience?)
On Android devices I use the app PipePipe to avoid the YouTube ad hell. I recommend it.
I also use Firefox for Android, which has Addon support. Ublock Origin works on the phone and disables a a lot of the ad horror.

It feels a bit funny asking this, since we're talking about Google (i.e. YouTube), but did you mean ;) PipeTube? I know there is a PeerTube too.
I don't know PipeTube. I meant PipePipe, which works well for me: https://github.com/InfinityLoop1308/PipePipe
