Yes, listeing to stuff while screen is locked seems to be one of the motivations for teople to pay for a youtube subscription (apart from getting rid of Ads of course). As a VoiceOver user, I dont care so much. Tripple-tapping with three fingers will turn the screen off/on (screen curtain). This at least saves a bit of battery. Interestingly, ads dont really bother me as most audiobook providers haven't enabled ads anyway. You can easily listen to 10 hours of pratchett or dick without a single second of advertisment on yt. If ads are enabled, they can lead to pretty hilarious situations. When I was listening to an audiobook of GoT on YT recently, it contained quite a bit of ads. Funnily, one of the ads regularily heard was an audible ad. And the book was clearly stolen from audible. So in the end, YT was passing money from audible to the ebook thiefs. How ironic. Oh yeah, but hacking videos are apparently illegal now on YT. Go figure. Looks to me like yt is creating its own pretty arbitrary law.
