I haven't seen an ad in years
iOS DID have Yattee, but it's basically unusable at this point unless I'm doing something terribly wrong on my end. Every time I try to use it, even when signed in, I get errors no matter which back end I use.
It doesn't work, because it relies on Piped/Invidious. Both are currently broken, because Google is trying everything to block third party clients/APIs/proxies for YouTube.
