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).

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.

I'm not going to buy anything based on the sponsor segment, so skipping it doesn't deprive the creator of any money.

Yeah, last time I tried NewPipe has no login (probably obviously). I use YTB almost exclusively to watch my subscriptions. Without that it's kinda useless (I'm aware you can import a channel list somehow in NewPipe, but it's very inconvenient if you constantly sub/unsub stuff.)

That's true in the short term, but sponsors don't pay for people to shill their products if nobody's watching.

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.
I explained why I skipped it in some circumstances, I think I probably watch 90% of them. Or does this sponsor block thing let you choose when to skip? It didn't look like it but that would be great if so.
