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.

I honestly don't have a problem buying stuff from Google, provided they don't get to hoover up my data. And I can buy that Google Phone from eBay or something instead.
