Oh gosh, that's unfortunate.
Good thing I've been using NewPipe! I'm reading the post for other alternatives, but feel free to suggest some to me directly, if you'd like.
I have used freetube on windows. I assume adblock is in browser context here, so freetube should skip the browser completely.

I watch youtube, I mean, who doesn't? But there is nothing on there, no creater, no content, that would stop me from going cold turkey with the site if they are actually able to pull it off.
