YouTube in Android introduces UI bugs
NewPipe [1] and its derivatives like Tubular that include SponsorBlock (and dislikes, but I don't use this feature) are also great.
They let you follow channels and build playlists without a Google account play in background.
You can find those apps on F-Droid by adding the relevant repositories.

LTT video on de-Googling removed for "violating community guidelines"
In your comment you said "the first video taken down from LTT", which is not true.
Yes, this might be the first video removed for _one specific reason_. This also might be the first video where he broke external links policy[1]
> Links to websites, apps, or other sources that give unauthorized access to audio content, audiovisual content, video games, software, or streaming services that normally require payment
as he left a sequence of links to "alternative YouTube UI"[2]

- Newpipe/yt-dlp stops working
-
YouTube is returning 403 to NewPipe and other 3rd party players
They're apparently going hard this time, no known way to play anything anymore.
Playing on the website without an account still works.

Google has been blocking Invidious with error "This helps protect our community"
I had interpreted the news as affecting all users of the other tools. Found https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139 with very few comments so I don't get the impression it's affecting NewPipe specifically as yet.
- YouTube is A/B testing limiting logged out access to videos

- A simple and less problematic solution than an AdBlock for YouTube

So I decided to look for a more practical solution, where I don't have to update or change the filters all the time. I registered at piped And I use the Libretube android app

All my Open Source App Alternatives
YouTube → Libretube♥️

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
