Google would really like it if everyone just paid for YouTube Premium instead.

    Third party apps: “OK. We’ll show ads. Muted. Behind a black overlay. If we really can’t find a workaround.”

      I think YouTube wouldn’t care as long as they got paid

        Years ago I used to use an app called “AdSkip” or something along those lines that used the accessibility API to automatically mute and skip all YouTube ads. I’d imagine the screen black-out would be trivial to add on top

            Xtra was one of them I used to use, but they have a bunch of different ad blocks that do it too now. Multistream services do it as well

            You can use SafeTwitch with LibRedirect

            For Android, I recommend Xtra
