Doesn’t have much appeal if you pay for YT Premium. I also used to sideload Cercube so I get the appeal, but yeah. I would count that in the category of “++” apps that pretty much exist to circumvent ads or avoid paying for subscriptions.

I don’t have anything against them but it doesn’t help the image of open access being only useful for piracy or avoiding paying for stuff.

I don't pay for YT premium or really anything. They still show promotions "Get YouTube TV 🥺🥺🥺" to subscribers. And all the tracking, etc.
