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!

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.
