I especially like the little glimpses to the advertisement hellscape I'm avoiding when my adblock plugin fails to work (usually right before they need an update). I especially like how the ads are rocking some kind of premium low-latency CDN while the rest of youtube is served from a cluster of used xboxes, presumably co-located in an abandoned Radio Shack in suburban Alaska. Treat your users better, Google.

I have ad blockers on my PC, use Smarttube on my Firestick, and ReVanced on my phone. And when someone sends me a youtube link in a group chat or something and I click it, it'll open the standard Youtube. 1/2 ads, 30+ seconds long, can't skip them.... I just don't even bother watching what you sent me.

Because you can't open youtube in vanced, if I want to do that I just open it in youtube, cancel and then open vacned and play it from history.

Have you tried Grayjay?

Try installing URLCheck (it's on F-Droid) and make it your default browser, then remove open-by-defaults from the YouTube app.

It should let you open in the ReVanced or better yet Morphe version of YouTube. If tapping the link doesn't open URLCheck, then "Share" the link and select URLCheck.
