I've read piped is a frontend, but I don't know what that means. I'd still connect to the youtube servers, only through piped. What does that mean for the end user?

I already use tor and adblockers so, what would I gain?

The main gain would be losing any tracking youtube does on how you interact with their app. They could only track based off what videos your ip address watches.
