Oh damn, this seems to work. When I’m on my phone I typically use YouTube on Firefox with ublock origin and that works, but I also have the YouTube app which has ads on almost every video. I connected to Albania with NordVPN and watched a few ad-free videos on the YouTube app.
Look into ReVanced for Android or YouTube Plus for iOS. They’re nodded clients with built in adblocker and sponsorblock, including more QoL features. I haven’t seen and ad in months
ReVanced has been iffy since they got too popular through reddit, but I use grayjay which is FOSS and I really like it. It’s still in development but have to support the work they’re doing !
Maybe it changed but I only had crashes and version problems due to the spike in popularity. There were app takedowns and I had a less reliable experience so I switched.
I have not had many issues. Only on my old phone with a lineage OS ROM without google. On my current phone no real issues. I did only update it like every half year if even that. Most of the issues I got were from running a really old version of the app.
And mind you I have been a user ever since YT Vanced still existed. I even used the last vamced version untill it stopped working.

Thanks for the comments, reinstalled microg and revanced will try it out over the next weeks!
Good luck.
Grayjay is a lot iffier. It’s not even FOSS
