YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps that enable ad-blocking

The company's team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it's plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be implicated.

I use GOS but... Google phone...

I honestly don't have a problem buying stuff from Google, provided they don't get to hoover up my data. And I can buy that Google Phone from eBay or something instead.

My main issue is not that the phones are Google but that they are flagships only. Completely unaffordable new, cost like a normal phone when used thus overpriced for their condition, and the only ones that cost somewhat like a normal phone new are the ones on which Graphene is EOL. I guess EOL Graphene is still better than a stock OS with updates, but a full phone price for something out of support is still massive overpaying.
