I found a little workaround called Newpipe.
I’ll check it out. Thank you.

I pay nothing for YouTube and don't get ads. YMMV
I get no ads, and I’m not logged in for them to track me and sell my data.

I found a neat little workaround that I used for a while. I’d load the video up in my browser, turn the phone on an off a couple times, press play on the lock screen, and enjoy it that way.
Edit:
Still works. Just gotta full screen the video and then power off before it kills picture in picture.
And now I’m listening in the background as I type this.
@interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml gave me a really good suggestion the other day. If youre on Firefox, it might work for you too
Video Background Play Fix – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Download Video Background Play Fix for Firefox. Some sites may not work with Firefox for Android video background play feature. This add-on provides a quick fix by blocking the Page Visibility API and the Fullscreen API.
(addons.mozilla.org)
I just have the video running on Firefox and can them go to another App / turn off the screen

Ad-free subscription services that actually benefit the creators are exceedingly rare.
Believe it or not, YouTube Premium is one of them. A Premium view is worth more than an ad-supported view to a creator.
(Obviously Patreon is better, as they can’t make a living off of only Premium views because it’s a smaller group; the population of ad-supported users is much much larger. But YouTube Premium does benefit the creators more than ad-supported YouTube does.)

I use a VPN so yeah that's not going to work.

I pay for it. No ads. Background playing on mobile, and YouTube music included.
I just pirate it

Background playing on mobile
The fact that they put this behind a paywall is enough for me to never pay them a dime.
It used to just work. Then it only worked with a funny work around. Now I don't care because I pirate their content instead.

That’s fair

Pirate… what?

If you use a tv to watch, like my parents, this doesn't work.
Automated Youtube pirate server that streams to your TV with UPNP?

And you know when exactly YouTube went total ape-shit? The moment people could earn some meager bucks. Then shitty content flooded the whole platform until it was full of crap and actual good content got harder and harder to find in that pile of "you might wanna see this"
Nowadays i see the frontpage, sigh in disgust and close the page. And I haven't even seen an ad there yet. This would be the cherry on topShallow content comes from trying to manipulate the recommendations algorithm and "go viral". Without a recommendations algorithm, the incentive disappears.

Why pay for premium anyway? Let alone a family plan. You still get ads. They can be skipped too — SponsorBlock will do it for free. Google could use this but chooses not to.
They want YouTube to be like cable TV. You pay for it. You watch ads. You pay more for premium channels.
I have YouTube premium and have not gotten any ads.

you're gonna have to get ads
I don't think that necessarily follows.
Have you heard of self-hosted Patreon-similar Ghost ?

If you watch vapid slop content on Youtube, that's on you. Don't blame Youtube for giving you what you apparently want. I watch howto's, "edutainment", science and engineering stuff, conference talks, and overall generally positive, helpful content. This is a totally different thing from Netflix, which is mostly just fiction. I'd never pay a subscription for that. The cost of Premium seems like a fair value for what I get out of it, especially since creators get a higher payout for Premium views.
Yeah, Google still tracks you. So does absolutely everyone else, including your ISP that you're paying for. Until you make it illegal, that isn't going to change. I'm not going to put everything on hold waiting for better consumer protection laws, shit's way too dysfunctional for that to be realistic. Life isn't perfect.

You don't get ads. You pay less than double what two premiums cost and your household can share.

I pay for it, also no ads except the sponsor plugs, which are pretty easy to skip. Overall a better experience than the non premium. I don't live in the USA so my cost is like $5/month.

A big problem with peertube is monetization. There should be some sort of mechanism that'd do that automatically. Otherwise there won't be much content ever. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that it exists but just don't see it replacing even few % of YouTube as it is.
Monetization itself is the problem.

I suspect Google won't care if they "accidentally" lock VPN users out of YouTube Premium.

I only simp for Steam.
Gabe and his 300 yachts thanks you.
