How to Implement Ad-Free YouTube Playback in React Native CLI

I'm building a mobile app using React Native CLI, and I'm embedding YouTube videos using:

• react-native-webview
• react-native-youtube-iframe

The videos play fine, but they always show ads— either before or during playback.

However, I’ve noticed that apps like Sub4Sub (apps where users watch and subscribe to each other's channels) somehow play the same videos without any ads.

What I want to know

1. How do apps like Sub4Sub manage to avoid showing YouTube ads?
2. Is it technically possible to play YouTube videos ad-free in a React Native app?
3. Does the YouTube API or any embed method support ad-free playback under specific conditions?

My setup

• React Native CLI (not using Expo)
• Android device
• Tried embedding with both WebView and react-native-youtube-iframe

And my code

<YoutubePlayer        videoId={videoId}        height={height}        onReady={() => {          playerRef.current?.getDuration().then(duration => {            if (duration && onDurationReceived) {              onDurationReceived(duration);            }          });        }}        webViewProps={{          injectedJavaScript: `      function hideAds() {        const adSelectors = ['.ytp-ad-module','.ytp-ad-overlay-container','.video-ads'        ];        adSelectors.forEach(selector => {          const elements = document.querySelectorAll(selector);          elements.forEach(el => el.style.display = 'none');        });      }      hideAds();      setInterval(hideAds, 1000);     `,        }}      />

Final note

I'm not trying to bypass YouTube’s rules — I just want to improve the user experience legally and within their terms.

Any help or clarification would be really appreciated. Thanks!
