I unabashedly pirate with adblockers on my computer and alternative apps on mobile. My mobile app stopped working the other day. I just stopped watching youtube on mobile completely. It is not at all worth it to watch ads for even one minute, in my considered opinion.

Yeah, if at any point YouTube succeeds in killing the adblockers, then I’ll just stop watching youtube and only watch the creators that upload to Nebula

Use a Firefox fork with uBlock and you'll have a decent time of it. Including playback in the background

Grayjay, LibreTube, NewPipe, Invidious, Piped. If one seems to be down, the others always seem to work. Haven't been on YouTube in months.
