They're apparently going hard this time, no known way to play anything anymore. Playing on the website without an account still works. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11254 https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10397 https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube/issues/3606

  Of course, the customer is the advertisers, not the users.

Today I got an update notification on Tubular app (based on NewPipe), both the streaming & downloads are now working. LibreTube is also working last I checked (yesterday).

No way around this either? I shouldn't have updated

  It has nothing to do with updating Some piped instances, with e.g. Libretube, still work though

YouTube addon on KODI works without ads but one cannot sign in anymore so need to add and bookmark the channels one watches regularly manually. Learning to use KODI is a worthwhile pursuit these days for many IMO. Another possibility is to use the official YouTube app via a VPN with a country setting like Russia and one should see no pushed ads anymore for obvious reasons.

  So your solution to see YT without ads is route it through Russia, where it will be monitored by Russian authorities? And while on that VPN the rest of your traffic will also be routed through Russia? That's next level masochism :)

I would just stop watching youtube tbh. It's not worth the horrible ads.
