Try Invidious, FreeTube, NewPipe,... All allow you to watch regular youtube content without ads. You can also create instance local accounts to "create playlists" and "subscribe" to people.

Do they support casting to Chromecast etc aswell?

I can't answer that since I don't have any cast-enabled devices.
