Certainly it is illegal to distribute Vanced because it’s a modified version of Youtube official app, which is copyrighted.

Cool, nowhere did I indicate that I should be presenting a link to download the app nor did I tell anyone where to get it. Point moot.

Re-vanced may have found a workaround so that users modify the app themselves, but Google may claim DMCA’s anti-circunvention rule is being breached, and sue the relevant parties if they wanted to.

Okay but if they start using a different method of ad blocking you’re going to just tell them the same answer, that they’re going to get sued into the ground? No the answer was looking for alternatives, and revanced is an alternative whether you like it or not.

You sure like being inclusive on this platform, be better.

Blocking ads is illegal? The entire patch system is user based. If you just want to block ads, Revanced is just as legal as everything else you listed.

Unfortunately, this is par for the course in Iowa. From cutting back food assistance to having openly, corrupt officials… It shows what the priorities are in that state.
