Well i still pay for it for two reasons- no ads and music. I use YouTube music as the music service since it has more artista from my country as for example spotify. And ads free since I and my family love watching each specific videos and are subscribed to different creators. I could switch to Spotify for music but then getting all devices, mostly our tv with chrome cast a solid app that somehow blocks ads without any issues… I would do that. And what about the iOS devices? I don’t want alternative stores on my iOS infected devices just to get an alternative app running. Then again, I don’t want to have pihole being my single point of failure on the complete home network. But the pi hole thing is completely different story (and out if scope).
Metrolist will have one limitation. I don’t think Google allows for High quality music streaming (which I think is 256 kbps on their part) on free accounts, so it would be impossible for the app to bypass that.
Though if someone has YouTube Premium, one can as of now, use yt-dlp to download songs from YT Music in High Quality via --export-cookies flag.

You might want to check out Metrolist. It’s working well for me.
