My dude are you browsing Lemmy on your PlayStation?
Grab a chromecast HDMI stick and just stream it from your phone. There are ways.

Pihole. It's a hardware device that plugs into your router and blocks traffic to known advert domains.
It works network-wide, so this works even on non-standard platforms like Playstation.
Like the above poster said, there are ways. Just not the ones they suggested.

Pihole doesn’t do absolutely anything against YouTube ads as they use the same domains for ads and videos.
If you tell pihole to block the domain from where YouTube ads are served, then you effectively blocked all YouTube videos

Ah it doesn't work for YouTube? That's a bum :(

Doesn’t work when the ads and content are served from the same domain.

I always wondered but, do pi-holes work on consoles/smart TVs?
SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 11 months ago
They should for most purposes. YT has started to try and make it much harder to block their ads, which I think has made Pihole ineffective for that.
Connecting the Pi up to the TV and using it as the player should be an option.

Wouldnt buy a pi for that tho, but if it could make all youtube in my house ad free it wouldve been awesome, sad

If ads are served on a separate domain, then pihole blockers still work on consoles/smart TVs
But mostly all ad-supported video streaming services realized that if they serve ads from ads.example.com and content from content.example.com, then it’s trivial to have an adfree experience by just blocking ads.example.com.
So, YouTube ads URLs are made to be indistinguishable from YouTube video URLs from just watching network traffic, or in Pluto tv the ads are directly embedded in the stream
