Ad blockers work for websites, but I believe ads in youtube videos are embedded in the video, so you are stuck watching the whole thing, like in this case, or given the opportunity to click out after a few seconds.
It was funny to read some of the reviews. One person noted that they had updated it to bypass the recent youtube ads, and that they will probably have to update it when youtube successfully programs their videos to bypass the adblocker :)
You can also try the brave browser. I use it on my phone & computer and I never get YouTube ads. I like it better than chrome/Firefox/ whatever other globohomo browsers and apps.

Try adblock plus. I never see an ad in a YT video on my home computers. I don't know if it works on phones because I've never tried it.
Just added it, and it DID block the imbedded ad! I guess I'll need to donate some money for the "honor ware" :)
I'm glad it worked for you. I've used it for years and never had trouble with it.

Ok, thanks, I only use a laptop for internet.
I just turn off the sound and start scanning the comments.
Are you using a computer or a phone?
If a phone, Apple or Android?
On PC, uBlock Origin and Sponsor Block are both still working for me.
That will stop ads that are part of a youtube video?
I don't see any YouTube ads using Firefox, uBlock Origin, and Sponsorblock.
Install Firefox and then the following addons-

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
At someone's suggestion, I added "adblocker plus" and it removes the youtube ads!
ublock origin blocks youtube ads
