For YouTube on mobile, you can get ad-free experience with their premium tier[1] or YouTube Vanced[2]. Both come complete with background playback and overlay player.

Or on Android you can install NewPipe[0] which is an open source YouTube frond-end without ads too. You can install it from F-Droid[1] or Github releases[2].

YouTube Premium makes sense if you're a heavy user of YouTube, but at my level of use, it would make more sense to have a $1-per-video pay-as-you-go model. Or a $5/day pass that doesn't renew would be good too.
