Youtube's frequency of ads has become so extreme that I've just yesterday opted to pay 11€/month for YT Premium. I had tried before disabling them with a Pihole or by blocking domains. It didn't work. Also, on a Samsung TV, you can't really install another front end.

I use NewPipe on my Nvidia Shield. It's not very polished but it gets the job done and is FOSS.

They should mirror somewhere outside of GitHub, this may get taken down.

Zip it and host it as a torrent with a magnet link?

This is cable tv all over again. Pretty soon there will be ads on paid YouTube subscriptions too, mark my words.

I wouldn't be surprised, but it's also the moment I stop paying for YT Premium.

I have YT Red, but still use Vanced so I can disable "addictive" functionalities (primarily _Stories_) which I cannot disable in the regular YT app.

The Shorts are all crappy rips of TikTok videos anyway. Who would waste their time watching it?

YouTube red doesn't have Sponsorblock, pure black dark theme, turn off cast buttons among other layout options. There's probably other stuff but these are some stuff I would love in addition to YTRed.

There are: “now for a quick word about this week’s sponsor”

I mean, that's on content creators doing live reads, and YT has nothing to do with it.

Apparently Vanced was a patched YouTube app for Android, removing ads, adding a dark theme and YouTube Premium features (probably more ?). It was discontinued two weeks ago: https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/13/22975890/youtube-vanced-a...

best part of vanced was the ability to background youtube so you can listen to music with the screen being locked
