The original post I made about this is here.

At first, I implemented the uBlock Origin method, recommended by @salarua@sopuli.xyz, and it seemed to work at first.

Today, I got another Anti-Ad blocker message and decided to try the method described by @Peekystar@kbin.social and, again, this seemed to work at first.

Later today, neither of these methods work when trying to use YouTube itself. The redirect methods, probably, work fine if you are NOT using YouTube itself.

Does anyone else have another solution?

    You can export your YouTube subscription list through YouTube takeout and then import that to like freetube, piped, newpipe, etc for the accountless alternatives so at the very least you continue to be able to keep up with your subscriptions.

    You could use syncthing to keep the subscription file synced across whatever platform you use across phone and desktop.

      You can sync the subscription file between Freetube and NewPipe?

        You’ll need to manually export the list from one to import into the other, but that’s how I keep things in sync if I remove or add channels.

          I guess that’s okay. I wish there were an automatic process
