You can use:

Revanced

This patches the official YouTube app with a lot of different options including removing those ads.

NewPipe

This scrapes the website, and is my preferred YouTube app. You cannot log into an account though, which isn't an issue for me. You can also import/export your subscriptions. They are still working on getting comment replies into the app though.

LibreTube

This uses Piped API, and you can choose with instances you want to use. This has comment replies in the app.
