NewPipe [1] and its derivatives like Tubular that include SponsorBlock (and dislikes, but I don't use this feature) are also great.

They let you follow channels and build playlists without a Google account and play stuff in background.

You can find those apps on F-Droid by adding the relevant repositories.

Revanced is not bad with Sponsorblock + hiding shorts. Haven't tried but I don't see why it couldn't be used without logging in.

I do appreciate NewPipe for helping cut down on YT feed scrolling and just focusing on subscriptions. For a while I'd completely migrated to NewPipeSponsorblock but that fork became unmaintained and at the time there didn't seem to be an alternative.
