The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it’s plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be implicated.

What about ReVanced? Should be safe, since it’s just a modded version of the official YT app, right?

Unfortunately that’s more likely a strike against them than in their favor
