Or just use Piped, Invidious or any other frontend https://pluja.github.io/awesome-privacy/#youtube
I don't see any ads in years, just don't use youtube.com. whether on PC, phone, Android TV.
You have Yattee, works on iOS/AppleTV https://github.com/yattee/yattee
What's wrong with sideloading free and open source software?
Just realized that this is about Yattee, you don't even have to sideload it, it's on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/yattee/id1595136629. Just follow this guide to set it up, it takes 2 minutes.
Is Piped blocked on your work computer? If yes, there's a guide on how to easily bypass any website block.
Holy shitballs, this is amazing.
I know this is a possibility, but also a risk. The land where you purchased youtube premium doesn't match your home address so Google notice. Do you use your primary account for this? Do you need a foreign credit card?
Yeah, there's a big difference between "random country" and "home country".
I experimented with this some time ago and failed because I didn't have a credit card from the foreign country to pay with. I'm sure this can be circumvented with some effort, but it's not trivial.
Don't. Don't install Google spyware on your phone and don't give this garbage company even a fraction of a cent. Also, stop pretending that it's impossible to block ads on YouTube, there are many ways to do it: There are web clients like Piped and Invidious, there is FreeTube for Desktop and on Android you can use LibreTube (client for Piped), NewPipe, NewPipe x SponsorBlock, it also has Return YouTube Dislike built in, or Grayjay. On iOS, you can use Yattee, just follow this guide to set it up, it should also work on the Apple TV if I'm not mistaken, or just add the Piped website to your homescreen. If you have a device that runs Android TV, you can use SmartTubeNext.
