How do the 3rd party clients for youtube work? Can they still circumvent the adblock-blockers or where are the "positioned" inside youtube's code? Sorry for the weird terminology, I'm no programmer.

YouTube ReVanced still works. They patch the app to not play the ads.

The way it works is you install the normal YouTube app, install the ReVanced patcher and it patches and reinstalls the app.
