Anyone who primarily uses #YouTube for just listening to music (like I do) should consider trying out an app like @newpipe (NewPipe). I haven't dealt with an ad or interstitial break since I switched, and the mobile app plays sound while my phone is locked without missing a beat. I don't know if it'll be around forever, but I do know I'm never going back to just "www dot youtube dot com" for online videos again.

Edit: Android DL link for those who want to try NewPipe: https://newpipe.net/#download

Can you link to the actual app? Play store search tries to hide it from me with confusing links and ads. Can't check it out if idk what to look for.
