I wish a Googler would sabotage YouTube making it a premium feature to be able to listen to YouTube with the screen turned off on Android.

It's environmentally unfriendly, resulting in degraded lifetime of batteries and wasted electricity.

Newpipe allows this (until Google decides to cut them off anyway)

You won't be able to see the ads with screen turned off.

They can spam users with audio ads fine.
