I recently migrated to NewPipe/SponsorBlock from Libretube and can concur that once you migrate your old subs from the csv google is required to send you, the experience is incredible on either platform.

This plus using invidious with rss feeds and yt-dlp/sponsorblock on desktop, and I've kept up with all my favorite creators without having visited the Youtube site, seen an ad, or heard a sponsor or a call to action in years.

Oh, and on Android, iif you view this article using Mull with NoScript and Ublock on, content is visible wuth no ads.

Add in a bypass paywalls filter list to ublock and yeah...internet is usable again, lol.
