Somewhere I read that using such apps may get your account blocked by google. not sure how much truth in that, but I've avoided using such apps because of that.
I've used this from the start. Btw you don't need to give your google account to use this in any way. It is a fully functional (better) youtube client.
Watching youtube videos using Google's bandwidth, without watching any ads or paying for sub, I don't see how this could be legit in the long term.
An excellent app. Plays stuff in the background and has a built-in downloader, for those big podcasts on the go.
It is also integrating SponsorBlock in the app. It skips sponsors, patreons and LTT plugins within a video Free and Open Source - https://sponsor.ajay.app/

No. The ads are separate video files that get played after each other by the browser or youtube app. Since this app is complete independent it just choose to not play the video ads
I hadn't seen a Youtube ad in years, but now Youtube gives "An error occurred. Please try again later." on first load in Safari on a Mac with Wipr. Reloading without blockers gives ads before and every few minutes and some overlays. Miserable. It's still easy to work around, but maybe Google's getting more aggressive about blockers.
Is anyone familiar with youtube.videodeck.net / pockettube? Aggregates channels into subscription columns like RSS. Like old youtube collections. I've been using the service for years and have yet to see anyone else replicate the feature.

My only major complaint is that the colour of the seek bar is hard to see on black backgrounds.
