I don't know about your actual question, but look into revanced. So much better than the official app, or the built in player sync for reddit had.
https://revanced.app/download That's the link for the manager. You have to download the apk for YouTube from apkmirror and patch it with the manager. Will also have to install microg, install will point you to the right place for that. No ads, no sponsors, dislikes are back.
