I pay for YouTube premium but still use Revanced since the regular app sucks.
You know what doesn’t suck?
- Freetube on PC
- Libretube on Android
- SmartTube on AndroidTV
I like revanced, but these are cooler :)
Or just Firefox on Android with Ublock.
That works, but If you are okay with that experience, I encourage you even more to give libretube a try
It’s open source, and doesn’t collect user data, and works in my opinion better than firefox+ublock on android
On pc firefox+ublock is great, for now at least
Eh. Mine freaks out and fails half the time I try to go full screen. And the frame rate seems like it gets awful randomly.
Skill issue
same but with newpipe
“Finally”? Barf.
The day Newpipe and all Inviduous instances die is the day I never use YouTube again.
Piped?
when newpipe stops working I’ll stop using YouTube 😂 maybe my life will be better, who knows
There was a different article earlier today and they were speaking about stuff like ReVanced and API access. Since new pipe has not agreed to the APIs terms and services, that means they should be safe
Shit article is a poorly written ad for YouTube premium
Better functionality Free
Imagine paying for something that’s worse
IfbReVanced fall anyway there still exist alternative frontends like NewPipe.
Grayjay still works? YT-DLP still works? I sleep.
Go use NewPipe! Its Foss!
I swear pretty soon they’ll do DRMs at some point.
That article is dogshit.
Google are trying their best to make YouTube unusable. They’re about to succeed.
Guess i’ll download all of my medias and put them on a hard drive
I don’t care who the IRS sends I’m not paying YouTube Premium
This article is pretty much an ad for Youtube Premium
Came here to say this
But they’re just sharing the fact Youtube Premium™ offers a lot of people great benefits, like background play, and music!
Background play is bloody annoying if you don’t use YT for music. I prefer videos to stop when I switch apps, then resume when I switch back. Now they keep playing.
And I’m starting to get recommendations of music that I can’t remove or tell it I’m not interested in.
I remember when YouTube had background playback for free. An update broke it, then it was put behind a paywall.
And a larger percentage of post operating revenue!
Any indications that NewPipe or SmartTube will stop working?
Maybe, the ideia is to force everyone to use the site/app, like Twitter an Reddit did.
