Asking the same questions, and some more:

I like the idea, and the app looks cool. I just wish there was a way to just get the audio streams from these channels and have the video constantly looping be embedded into the app or something.

The reason why I don't stay tuned to the YT channels is exactly because of ads, and I don't like my bandwidth being consumed by video when I'm not watching anything.

This is why God gave us ad blockers :)

I'm curious - are there good adblockers today that can block YouTube ads? I vaguely remember uBlock Origin facing the problem of Google serving ads from the same domains/addresses as the actual video, making adblocking on YouTube virtually impossible.

I use uBlock Origin on Firefox and it seems to work fine for blocking YouTube ads (to the point where I frequently forget YouTube has ads until I make the mistake of trying to access it on a browser lacking an ad-blocker, lol).

uBlock Origin (even with default block lists) + Sponsorblock is what I use for a fully ad-free YouTube experience. Sponsorblock is a crowd-sourced native sponsor-content timeskipper. For medium to large channels it works like a charm. I highly recommend this setup.

I mean, that's standard fare these days, but going on YT with an ad blocker just to ensure a smooth, immersive music listening experience seems so... roundabout.

Also, I prefer to keep the ad blockers off when I'm on the site just to support those who I want to support, and I'm not on it for most of the time.
