Block YouTube ads on Xbox

My YouTube premium trial ended today and now I have to watch ads again. I didn't mind at first but then ads started appearing every few minutes. Fuck you Google.

I've done some research on how to block them but the only thing I found was Pi-Hole, which doesn't work with YouTube because YouTube serves ads differently; and streaming a laptop/phone to the TV instead, which means I don't get to use my Xbox controller I'm comfortable using.

On my phone I use NewPipe, which blocks ads, allows background play, and downloading of videos directly onto the device as MP4s. However I haven't been able to find any of these for Xbox. Maybe they can be sideloaded in developer mode?

I know there's going to be at least one idiot who says it's not possible, if you are that idiot just don't comment.

I'll appreciate help. I know it takes away from the content creators but the frequency of the ads is unreasonable. It's almost like a punishment for not renewing Premium after the trial.
