You can use:
Revanced
This patches the official YouTube app with a lot of different options including removing those ads.
NewPipe
This scrapes the website, and is my preferred YouTube app. You cannot log into an account though, which isn’t an issue for me. You can also import/export your subscriptions.
LibreTube
This uses Piped API

Revanced works flawlessly on android and gives you the native app feeling

I guess not, it’s just some ripoff

No, that’s a scam. ReVanced will never be in the Play Store, you have to patch it yourself. There’s instructions on the ReVanced subreddit and it’s easy. And don’t download premade versions either
