I've used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.

Problem with that is that I want to use my subscriptions but using that app might get my user potentially banned and I do not want my google account banned.

I've used ReVanced every day for over a year now and nothing has ever happened to my Google Account. I also used regular Vanced for at least two years before that, never had any issues.

It wouldn't be in Google's interest to kick users out. Kicking apps out? Sure, that's how YouTube Vanced died.

ReVanced smartly dances around the rules.

Never heard of anyone getting banned for using revanced.

You could create a burner account to be on the safe side. I believe there is a way to export the channels you've subscribed to and I port them to a new account. Haven't tried that myself though yet.

It's only an anecdote, but I've used it for about 6 years HEAVILY and haven't been banned. I've also never heard of anyone banned for it.
