ReVanced is doing the thing for me where it lets you get about 10sec into a video and freezes. IIRC, I'll have to look for an update. I had to use regular YouTube on my phone today and my god, it's unusable. Absolute trashfire of ads and sponsored videos clogging up my feed.

Had the same issue. The solution that worked for me is going to Settings>Youtube>Miscellaneous then turning on "Spoof Player Parameter" and "Spoof Player Parameter Type". Might help if you update beforehand too.

I can confirm this works on the new v18.29 and v18.30 apks.

I use Brave browser on my S8 and youtube works fine. Can even enable a setting that lets you minimize brave or turn the screen off and the video plays
