One of the biggest strengths of Vanced over NewPipe when i tried them both was SponsorBlock [0] Is there a similar feature available in Newpipe now? [0]: https://sponsor.ajay.app/

Not trying to make accusations but why would anyone block these segments? Isn't that how the content creator is making a living? I just skip them by hand if they go on and on or I've already seen it or whatever.
the reason they skip them is the exact same reason people use ad block on youtube or download movies. they don't care and it's more convenient that way.

What about just removing the youtube app from the tablet you give your child?
There are good things on YouTube. And, their friends watch YouTube.
Also, "their friends are doing it" is a terrible reason to let them do it, IMHO.
Does this or Vanced help with the problem I have: my kids are being brainwashed via Google's algorithms? More specifically, I hate that when they watch YouTube it is pushing really shitty content on them. Is there a way with either of these apps to filter out things I don't want them to watch, or perhaps even have a list of things I only want them to watch? I don't think my kids would notice if they couldn't get Ninj…
NewPipe is great but it breaks quite frequently due to the use of unofficial YouTube APIs. I tried to get my girlfriend on it because she was annoyed by all the ads but it kept breaking every month. Vanced is nice but a weakness for both is that they can't support casting on a non-jailbroken device (and I suspect the issue won't be solved by jailbreaking).
Even when using NewPipe's F-Droid repository? https://newpipe.net/FAQ/tutorials/install-add-fdroid-repo/
Of course this is understandable though! YouTube is the one breaking the API and the devs react really quickly which is great.

why would you ask someone why they do something and then immediately explain that you literally do the exact same thing? the only difference is you do it manually and they found a way to automate it. the reason they skip them is the exact same reason people use ad block on youtube or download movies. they don't care and it's more convenient that way.
Do folks know that 55% of ad revenue goes directly to the creators whose content you are watching? Apps like this sound great, but ultimately damage ecosystems. YT Premium is like $11.99/mo and you never see an ad again. If you think you're getting $12/mo USD value out of YT, then I question why you'd want to go through the hassle of this over just paying not to see ads (ps: premium income also goes to the creators!)…

Proactively this is the only thing that worked: get yt premium, download YouTube videos you preselected, and disconnect the child's device.
What does getting YouTube Premium add to that plan? Wouldn't it work just as well without that step?
