I removed the YouTube app from my phone. A few days ago, I noticed that it would play ads almost every 15 minutes or so, and at the start of new videos. It never did that before (on my phone app at least). Into the trash you go.
Anyone have other recommendations? I primarily use it for background listening when I'm doing chores / driving.

I was literally forced to buy the premium subscription. Watching yt on a TV means 3 minutes of unskippable ads sometimes.

NewPipe Lightweight YouTube frontend
NewPipe does not use any Google framework libraries, or the YouTube API. It only parses the website in order to gain the information it needs. Therefore this app can be used on devices without Google Services installed. Also, you don't need a YouTube account to use NewPipe, and it's FLOSS.
Works like a charm, specifically in the background, no ads.

I can recommend a podcast that’s just perfect for background noise.
