I'm not sure it's the "best" way, but it's a solid alternative, and receives rapid updates when YouTube moves to break things.

I'm using this all the time myself. There is no login to YouTube required and it supports adding subscriptions and doing everything important you can do on YouTube.

And the best part is no ads whatsoever.

Grayjay and Freetube are both fine but different.

For some reason, Freetube currently works well, Grayjay needs iOS fallback and barely works.

Grayjay follows the bigger, already implemented idea of combining multiple platforms. This is a great UX and smooth fallback when Youtube blocks again, or permanently.

Accounts can link multiple platforms, so switching is easier.

It also allows commenting, livechat, on the platforms and has on the polycentric protocol, connecting all others.

Also, it has Sponsorblock integration.
