> As much as I hate paying so much a month for YouTube of all things, screen-off background play is a paid feature on iPhone

I know you're on iPhone which limits your choices but I'll mention this here anyway, could be useful to someone. Firefox has an addon[1] to fix that. It's very simple and basically just disables the events that tells the page you've switched tabs, and for Youtube hits sends a random keyboard event every N seconds.

I've used it for years and it's great. I can't imagine paying Google of all companies for a feature like that.
