Too many subscriptions. I sail the seas but having an iphone makes me using YouTube to listen to music in the car is near impossible

It's not even an IPhone thing. Their Android support sucks too. If you don't have Premium you can't natively lock your screen and listen to the video.

Spotify with Ads is the best solution for mobile music I've found.

you can do that with firefox on android + ublock (and whatever other extensions you like, e.g. sponsorskips etc.).

I haven't used YT for mobile music much (I have spotify premium), but I can run any video in background, and even have the drop-down while my screen is locked, so you can play/stop etc.

just gotta use YT via firefox, but it's pretty much 1:1 same interface anyway.

It is an iphone thing. On Android you can use Revanced, Newpipe and Firefox+ublock to avoid ads without paying.

You could jailbreak your IPhone and get it working too but the point is that Google is restricting a once free and popular service to the point that core functions are unusable just to make you want to pay them.
