It looks like Google are pushing pretty hard on AdBlockers now. Looks like a pretty aggressive new UI from them.

I'm finding revanced for Android is still working well, but I've got no idea when that'll become less reliable

Happily watching no ads with premium. Sure the sponsor spots are still there, but they pay the creator and I can skip them, so I dont mind... Propably not a popular opinion, but I do think YouTube/Google should get money by hosting the video content...

I would (and do) pay for similar services but I'm not giving google a cent.

Yeah I agree with this, unrealistic to expect it to be free w no ads. YTP comes with music too and its a good enough deal to me..

My issue with premium is that it doesn't fix so much of the other shit that revanced fixes for me on the mobile app (I don't want shorts, community posts, I want my dislike button etc) that I'd be using revanced anyway. And at that point I can just also block ads. If piracy gets you a better experience than that of paying customers, then you have an issue with your product.
