Honestly agreed. I hate that we don’t have a good open alternative to YT, but as long as you can afford it buying premium seems like a decent alternative.
@normalmighty@RagingRobot, well, you can use front-ends like CloudTube, Invidious instances, Piped or an Desktop client like FreeTube.
You can also watch YouTube sandboxed searching the video with Andisearch and viewing it in the search results.
Sure I could but I could also just pay $8 or whatever it is and the creators that I watch get a small portion of the money. I like them tracking the videos I watch so that I can look back and find the ones I liked.
I’d love to subscribe to premium, but in my country they have disabled it. It is basically not possible to remove ads even when I want to pay, lmao. So, duck them, give me my vanced/revanced
i cannot escape YouTube at all for sure and i do want to use instagram sometimes + GIB VINE
Use YouTube.com in firefox with u-block origin. Works well enough while not giving them ad revenue.
OR you can use piped to watch youtube videos
Or Invidious.
ReVanced checking in!
It’s buggy on occasion, but it works!
i do use newpipe and clipious from time to time
Just pay to remove the ads
That makes the privacy issues with YouTube worse. They can link your YouTube watch history with your identity
They can already do that without paying
Not if you use anonymizing software

revanced
I used to do that but I realized content creators don’t get paid if I do that so I subscribed to Premium.
on computers sure on mobile well it works
Android, Firefox, uBlock Origin and Background Play Fix. Never going back.
You can install desktop extensions on Kiwi browser.
eat shit bitch nobody was talking about chromium
Adblock extension + saferi.
Even works in the background and with locked screen
WHY THE HECK IS NOBODY TAKING NOTE OF ME SAYING I USE REVANCED
Jokes aside, revanced is cool AF. It has sponsorblock, dislikes and additional share buttons. Such an amazing app.
Yes it is fucking cool and stuff, but iPhone users can’t use revanced or do they?
Because I sure as heck’d use it!
if I’d have a ipad id use it as a drawing tablet if i had an apple pencil too otherwise to the bin
