For some reason, those never work for me. I've tried at least 3 different YouTube and blockers and they all fail.
Also there's no blockers for something like a fire stick, which sucks.
uBlock origin works, but you must disable all other blockers or browser plugins doing something with youtube, as they might interfere with the adblocking capability.
For the fire stick, simply install smarttubenext. Adfree and with sponsorblock included.

uBlock should work, if it doesn't make sure you are using latest version, you have custom filters disabled and disable all extension. If that fixes it then you can start enabling other extension tracking which one caused issue.
With adblock detection filtering too much can cause to trigger the detection.
Are you using Firefox?
Also, you might have to go into filter lists in the uBO dashboard and make sure you've checkmarked everything.
I'm not sure what can be done about a fire stick. I'm lucky because I have a mini PC connected to my main TV that runs Linux so I can use that to stream whatever I want. It's one of the best setups I've ever had for entertainment. I just got one of those cheap wireless keyboards with a trackpad for $10 from newegg, and Linux Mint has a setting to make the UI more usable from a distance.
I do use a Roku sometimes when I travel for work, and I just deal with the ads, so if there's a way to make something like a fire stick or roku work with a custom OS, that would be nice, but I'm not aware of anything.
Edit: Just noticed u/viking@infosec.pub has information about smarttubenext. Might look into that.
Very long hdmi cable.
There is 100% a blocker for the Amazon fire stick. It's called SmartTube.
