Ad blockers don't work anymore, at least not with the version YT serves me. If it thinks that I have an ad blocker active (false positives happen too), it will only show a black rectangle and not even load the comments.
Also, if none of the methods helps: Google has completely remove advertising in YouTube videos in Russia.
So you don't even need an ad blocker, just a sponsor block.
By the way, this (Not an extension, but a login from a Ru ip's) removes ads from all other Google services.
try firefox, librewolf, waterfox, chromium. In these browsers I had ublock origin (lite for chromium), adguard and NoScript (And/Or Privacy Badger) on my phone and PC, I didn't see any ads at all. I use the unhook and enhancer extensions with them)
