easy fix: don't use the app on your phone.
instead use youtube via your browser with adblock (for instance safari + adblock pro) and create a shortcut on your homescreen. you can use youtube just like in the app, you won't have any ads and you also can play videos with your screen turned off
Does that have the address bar taking up space on the top of the screen? That seems like the downside. I prefer revanced, but I can understand that some people don't want to install anything.
safaris address bar is at the bottom and also hides automatically...so no.
And on firefox you get to choose whether you want it up top or down below.
