Audible worked for me normally as an app. I use go maps to still use Google for maps but with out large tracking.
I have some knowledge based content that I still need from YouTube, any apps for that?

I don't know what knowledge based use is. Example? Are you extracting data from YouTube or just want to consume content? Newpipe and Invidious are both mirrors of YouTube that don't directly send data about you to Google.
