hopefully they'll lay off the ads since so many users suddenly can't use ad blockers, but I don't think they will. uBlock origin still seems to work fine.
try piped or its android client libretube
- YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers

YouTube to start blocking third-party apps that don't show ads
Can't recommend SmartTube enough: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube
Includes crowdsourced sponsor block as well. The day YouTube goes the Twitch route and starts embedding ads is the day I stop using it. Literally unwatchable at this point without adblocking.
