I recently discovered some YouTube front-end apps that provide a better interface than the one in the native app. It was thanks to this comment made on another post about YouTube and ad-blockers:

Not sure if you have seen this or not, but if not, do try some of them out.

You can add GrayJay to that list. Most of the same benefits but cross-platform.

I haven't seen this in any of the lists, but would it be possible to create a YouTube premium app without all the anti-consumer design. Like a fork of the official app where I'd be able to login, but not have all the bloat and just have search, subscriptions and playlists.

I'm pretty sure you can do this with revanced

Wow, thank you! Don't know how I could have missed YouTube Revanced, that's exactly what I wanted!
