If you use ReVanced, NewPipe or FreeTube you won't get these pop ups :)

Tried to get ReVanced on my phone, but I don't really feel like giving up the features walled behind SafetyNet by going through the trouble of rooting, and for the non-root option I didn't want to have another background process always running only for it to sometimes not work anyways.

My main use of YouTube is casting to my TV to watch videos in bed, so alternative apps aren't really viable either. If this were me 10 years ago when I actually had time and interest in tinkering around, I might be all for it. But these days, I just don't have the time or patience to play the cat and mouse game with Google to avoid ads. I just try to reduce my YouTube consumption instead.

ReVanced can make use of root, but doesn't require it. I use ReVanced on an unrooted phone, and the core of ReVanced is the official YouTube app so everything works the same way. You pick "patches" to disable ads, shorts, etc.

Well, if you can find me the rootless option that doesn't require also keeping ReVanced Manager/MicroG running in the background at all times, I might be interested.

Manager only does the patching, so it's not running. MicroG well... as long as you don't want to login...
