Some of us pay for premium but still use Revanced and Freetube because they are simply better youtube clients. Sponsorblock, OLED themes, customizable UI, better performance, etc. The adblocking is just icing on the cake

Wasn't aware any of them had baked in Sponsorblock or OLED themes. I might look into those platforms if that's the case. But yes, Youtube does need to keep up on features instead of paygating the ones that already exist (like queue).
