Free and open-source YouTube clients w/ no ads

LibreTube - uses Piped as video source by default. Subscriptions and playlists can be created, all without actually interacting with YouTube.

Clipious - uses Invidious as the video source. Also allows for subscribing and accounts. Lesser known client

NewPipe - Gets the source directly from YT. Allows for subscribing and creating playlists

Additionally, there's also ReVanced that lets you patch the regular YT app to include useful features.

  Saves on bandwidth too, you only download once and can keep your favorites saved offline as long as you have storage space.
  I do run my own invidious client too for video searches and “filler” channels you watch selectively.
  
  Oooh... I'd love a YouTube integration with jellyfin.
  Tell me more.
  I'd love the features of a podcast app but for YouTube creators I follow.
  
  You mean I finally have a way to watch Youtube in my Samsung TV without ads??? Ooooo I know what I'm doing tonight!
  edit: naaah it won't run on my raspberry :(
  
  That’s exactly what i use if for. I do have a server-pc running though.
  
  Yeah it requires a minimum of 2GB RAM. Maybe I'll finally get that picobox
