#123Installable via F-Droid, always a good sign.
f-droid website says "This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service" -- whats that all about?

I have zero issues with paying in general. What I don't see, is me paying for the worse service. Youtube Premium is 12.99€ a month for me. For that small price I get to create a Google Account, accept their TOS, let them track and profile me, keep logging in everywhere (because I delete all local storage in the browser routinely) and replace the small and efficient NewPipe with the Youtube app. Futhermore I cannot do…
Those are the terms YouTube sets out when providing you with the service. You can either pay for it (as the terms set out), watch with ads (as the terms set out), or not watch it. All other use is effectively piracy, and they have the legal and arguably moral* right to block you for not following it. * Yes, it does cost them money to serve and store videos, and no that doesn't disappear with scale. YouTube ingests hu…
What terms? I don’t recall agreeing to any?

If you watch YouTube enough you'll basically become aware of all the sponsors pretty quickly (and may even be a customer of some already!), so any exposure beyond that is a waste of time for all involved - if I didn't buy the product after seeing it 10 times, I won't buy it after seeing it the 11th either.
>if I didn't buy the product after seeing it 10 times, I won't buy it after seeing it the 11th either. There is still value to the sponser in keeping a brand fresh in your mind
People forget that over-advertising can be more damaging than no- or under-advertising. Take Ryan Reynolds and Mint Mobile. I genuinely love his acting (to each their own for sure) but after being constantly bombarded with commercials for Mint Mobile, I legitimately am tired and lately avoid not just him, but Mint Mobile, Ryan Reynolds, and anything associated with him.
The problem with YouTube is not that they have ads...it is that the platform sprays for effect while claiming to care about what they are doing when any reasonable user can tell that they are simply flooding the pipes with ad content.

#126There is also Grayjay[1] from Futo[2] now too.
Re: NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for Android
#127Also, checkout NewPipe with built in SponsorBlock functionality: https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe
Yeah this is the best version. I liked newpipe but their attitude to sponsorblock is tiring.
But I moved to libretube now. Newpipe kept throwing up errors when I jumped around a video.
Re: NewPipe – Lightweight YouTube experience for Android
#128The main reason why I don't use it is that I can't log in into my PeerTube instance and watch the Internal and Private videos for which you have to be logged in. But this kind of goes against the privacy stand against giving google the information about who you are they have. Which in my case is a bit different because I'm the admin of my own PeerTube instance.

Yeah this is an absolute gem. Sad that original NewPipe didn't include the functionality, even optionally.
well we tried to argue about it back in the time
It annoyed me so much. Just let the users make their own choices.
But anyway I had too many issues with newpipe anyway even the fork.
