Anyone who primarily uses #YouTube for just listening to music (like I do) should consider trying out an app like @newpipe (NewPipe). I haven't dealt with an ad or interstitial break since I switched, and the mobile app plays sound while my phone is locked without missing a beat. I don't know if it'll be around forever, but I do know I'm never going back to just "www dot youtube dot com" for online videos again.
While on the website, select "Docs" at the top of the screen then select "Known Repositories"
Copy the URL for NewPipe's repo
In F-Droid on your phone, go into Settings, select Repositories, select the plus button at the top right corner, and paste the NewPipe repo into the text field.
