Use Youtube frontends. Here is Privacy Guides' page about Youtube frontends. All of Youtube's BS will disappear.

I think "all of youtubes bs will disappear" is a stretch. I don't know the whole state of play but I know invidious has had some instability lately.

It's not mentioned there because it doesn't meet the OSI definition, but Grayjay is a source-available Android app that pulls videos from various services (e.g. Nabula, Odysee, PeerTube, etc). I'm hopeful it'll become properly open source at some point.
