SponsorBlock (https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock) to the rescue!
Sponsorblock[1] works pretty well for the creators’ advertisements.
That’s true for ads from youtube (I have yt premium myself) but not for ads directly in the video.
The yt app from the homebrew store has sponsorblock[1] integrated which can skip these too.
SponsorBlock [1] is a browser extension that skips in-video ads.
You can (sort of) block those ads too.
https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock works on an nvidia Shield via "SmartTube Next" - i don't know if you can install or sideload that on GoogleTV.
There's clients for many other platforms, even traditionally locked down ones like iOS Safari etc.
SponsorBlock is open source. https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock
On desktop there's the SponsorBlock extension, which skips them using a crowdsourced list of timestamps.
Sucks that you cannot do away with ads even on premium. Might want to check if this sponsored-ads skip tool this can be of help in your circumstance https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock
It would be hard to work around this https://github.com/ajayyy/SponsorBlock
