Sort of unrelated, but for those that don't know, on Android you can download NewPipe off f-droid, or just grab the APK off github. It's a user-centric youtube client. I don't know if there's an equivalent on iOS but it's much much better than the site or the app on android.

This. The existence of f-droid and apps like New Pipe, Gadgetbridge and Blokada is what kept me from jumping ship to iOS.

It's also something I install/show to my non-techie friends and they're amazed of the new no-ads experience.

There's also YouTube vanced, a "modified" APK of the official YouTube client that bypasses some of the premium blocks.
