I found a way to get dark mode for youtube mobile. I am not sure if this is intentional, but it’s pretty takes advantage of my ammoled screen

Steps to do it

  1. Switch to desktop mode. Look for the 3 dots on the top right from the home page or go to your account
  2. Click on the account menu again on desktop mode
  3. Click on the apperance tab, then change it to to dark mode
