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

[Question] Did anyone else encounter such high battery drain from Micro G?
This is a known issue with YouTube constantly connecting to an unavailable API. The github issue was closed by the team, but the user provided a patch that was never merged. https://github.com/TeamVanced/Vanced/issues/1220 I'd be very happy if someone patched the latest APK with this patch.
