The company's team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it's plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be implicated.

Check if they have channels elsewhere, a few of mine are on Odysee or Nebula. If that's the case, look into Grayjay, which is an Android app to access a bunch of video services with one interface. It's still a bit rough, but it's serviceable, and it allows downloading videos, which is cool.
