The official YouTube app is slso terrible, so maybe it's their excuse for terrible products?
if you get adguard for desktop and load it with userscripts from greasyfork to block youtube's bullshit it's still okay, I barely ever have any hiccups since I loaded 5 different userscripts to block youtube's anti-adblock bullshit. I sometimes get an error telling me the video couldn't be played, but I almost never see their bullshit telling me to turn my adblocker off.
There's also "FreeTube" which is an app for several desktop operating systems. there's also the many instances of invidious you can check out and access from almost any device with a web-browser.

Sure if you consider captcha to be a punishment. Poor baby.
I use VPNs but I'm not going to be a slave or a fanboy to avoiding facts and reality.
