easy fix: don't use the app on your phone.
instead use youtube via your browser with adblock (for instance safari + adblock pro) and create a shortcut on your homescreen. you can use youtube just like in the app, you won't have any ads and you also can play videos with your screen turned off
I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future they make it so the only way to watch Youtube on mobile is through their app. It seems like they're getting desperate, and that seems like the logical conclusion.
Or just use patches or alternative YouTube clients
why installing something when you just can use your browser and get basically the same experience?
Also those apps will be useless when they mess around with the api just like reddit did.
How's sponsor block?
Seems to be doing fine, I'm having no problems with it.
