Sneaky YouTube ads

Does anyone have a solution for the sneaky ads YouTube started putting inside videos? They're not marked as ads, are unskippable, and are undetectable by any adblock software I used. I'm starting to lose my damn mind. I've been using YouTube with adblock for YEARS, so it's unwatchable for me. There are a few things I know:

  1. The ads seem to be account-based. They don't appear when logged out or in private browsing mode.
  2. Sponsorblock is able to skip them as a workaround, using the "Skip to Highlight" feature, though it doesn't work in every video, as some don't have a marked highlight.

Does anyone know of an extension that solves this issue? This issue makes me want to quit YouTube, which has become more and more greedy over the years.
