Also use LibreTube on Android with the same benefits. I just wish all those alternatives Frontends would have a sync service of some sorts. Started of by using Invidious but it its almost unusable nowadays similar to Piped but it also has an independent Subscriptions/Playlists with a simple API it would be cool for those local first apps would integrate into that or maybe something even more independent like a RSS Service to manage subscriptions (feeds do really have to work for that)
I know age restricted videos don’t work if you’re not singed in (and as such don’t work on any alternate frontend like Freetube that I know of), if that’s your problem.
Not sure if logging in would “solve” it, but I’ve been unable to watch YouTube videos while on a VPN on desktop with FreeTube and on mobile with LibreTube for a month or so now.
Also, on FreeTube the recommended videos on the sidebar usually include a ton of unrelated news channels. I’ve got so many of them blocked now but they keep showing up.

This article is about RSS feeds. Im pretty sure your client relies on RSS feeds to show you your locally subscribed feed of videos.

YouTube has made all these apps completely useless by blocking users that aren’t logged in.

Well they must have created a blocking. Mechanism just for me then.

That’s not the problem. These are not age-restricted.
