I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

No Android version of it yet, eh? Damn.

ETA: I previously tried Vanced, but it didn't work correctly.

I hate linking to Reddit, but follow this guide for re-vanced on Android:

Thanks.

I am trying Libretube via F-droid. So far so good.

There is an android version: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/io.freetubeapp.freetube

However I prefer Grayjay: https://grayjay.app/

Other than grayjay there's newpipe

Try GrayJay, works great in my experience and has all the stuff (background play, no ads, downloads, etc). One issue I had with ReVanced was casting didn't always work for me, GrayJay seems to be able to cast to my shield without missing a beat.
