Just like the title says; I'm interested in being able to sleep to YouTube without ads, but I don't fuck with their business practices and they don't deserve my money. Unfortunately, I'm also a very inexperienced pirate and I'm unsure where to look.

Edit: for clarity I'm using a OnePlus 7 Pro with earbuds

Ignore ReVanced, go for LibreTube. It uses Piped in the backend to access YouTube, and it's got a really nice user interface on Android.

It also automatically blocks ads, skips sponsored segments, supports downloads, PiP, background playing, subscriptions, comments, live videos.

It doesn't rely on shady alternative G services running in the background, doesn't need you to modify any official APKs, it's open source, and you can customize elements you want or do not want to see from YouTube. Give it a go.

EDIT: And here are some bonuses it's got over alternatives: customizable sleep timers, channel groups, subscriptions synced automatically with your desktop browser (via Piped), the ability to proxy and reroute your traffic to YouTube, full Shorts support, live comments for broadcasts.

How does LibreTube respond to fast-paced mobile connection changes?

I'm not sure, but one workaround is to download the video ahead of time when you have a solid connection.
