Piped?
Shit article is a poorly written ad for YouTube premium
Better functionality Free
Imagine paying for something that’s worse
Go use NewPipe! Its Foss!
IfbReVanced fall anyway there still exist alternative frontends like NewPipe.
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
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

And a larger percentage of post operating revenue!
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.
Came here to say this
The day Newpipe and all Inviduous instances die is the day I never use YouTube again.
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.

That link isn’t necessarily related, as thats from 2023. And the new good news is it appears in the serp now!
thing is, i’d proboably have forked over the money for YouTube Premium by now if my only issue with the YouTube app was ads. its not. the app is genuinely unusable for me if I don’t apply the tweaks I need, especially the one to disable Shorts functionality.
Does the app let you change the playback speed to something rational like 0.9x, 1.1x, 1.2x, 1.3x? I’ve almost never found a video where 1.25x was the optimal listening speed. YT’s default playback speeds are shit for accessibility.
unfortunately no, but you could implement it as a ReVanced patch if you really wanted this functionality.
edit: wait nvm its in the revanced settings, you can set whatever custom playback speeds you want to appear in the menu
especially the one to disable Shorts functionality.
Fucking hell man, it’s so annoying! Best is when you open the app and it automatically starts on the shorts tab blasting some insufferable video.
Uh huh
Youtube alternatives like peertube need to get their act together and think about how to remunerate content creators. Ain’t nobody moving from youtube to peertube that wants to pay their bills with content creation. Nobody.
Just no, please no, for the love of god no ? that way inevitability leads to enshitification. YT itself is a giant shitshow from decades past
Why should PeerTube bother with that though? We all know YouTubers won’t switch to it, infact, YouTubers will not use another platform ever.
They could just upload their videos to multiple places, but they don’t. I think it’s clear that the vast majority doesn’t actually care about it. So what is the point of trying to appeal to them? They may as well priroritize their existing userbase, who are fedi hobbyists.
Ask yourself why they won’t and take economical realities into account.
What economic reality? Most of their income comes from sponsorship deals and Patreon subscriptions anyway. YouTube ad revenue is so unreliable that pretty much no content creator I follow considers it a primary way to make money. How could uploading your videos to other platforms in addition to YouTube have a negative impact on that?
