Any unofficial YouTube clients? (self.apple_enthusiast)

Hey folks, there are a few apps in the Android world which I use to watch YouTube without ads. Some examples are ReVanced, NewPipe etc. I was wondering if there is a similar app that I can use to fulfill the same needs such as ad blocking, downloading and viewing on iOS. Figured if anyone knew it'd be on Lemmy. Thanks in advance!

I mean, you could just pay YouTube for their services and get Premium.

Obviously, but lately YouTube and music has sucked so much that I don't think it's worth paying for. The recommendation engine has been very bad and I only use it for a specific purpose so it's not worth it anymore in my opinion.

Agreed, YT algorithms are useless and I just look at my subscriptions.

As a counterpoint though, watching with YT Premium provides more money to content creators than ad-supported views. Knowing some of the money is going to a part-time hobbyist making interesting videos in their basement helps me justify it.

Honestly, I don't even think about the creators, because YouTube should be the one paying them, not me.

no worries, I love the diversity in perspective.

Modded apps have more features than just ad blocking
