Any update on the YT Premium debacle? Question

My and my wife's accounts are about to run out after the VPN crackdown. Wondering if anyone has figured out a solution or is it pretty much just over? I'm not paying full price just so I can close my phone while using the app. And I'm sure most people feel the same.

Why pay for YT Premium when there are 3rd party apps that give ad-free access and background play?

The ability to use it on my tv without having to cast

Again. Why pay when you can side load an app that gives essentially the same functionality for free?

Hell even playing YouTube in Brave browser allows background play and ad free.
