It’s surprising how many people in the comments don’t want adverts, don’t want sponsorship AND don’t want to pay anything for content.

I would like to pay YT/creators with my own PC with several TB disk space and 100Mbps connection (even 1Gbps inside country) which might host some videos by the network's choice.

Nonsense. Blocking internet ads is simply the 21st century version of changing channels during commercial breaks.

It will never be as good as Youtube Vanced (god rest it's soul) but it gets the job done, despite the occasional bug

If you didn't know, there is YouTube ReVanced [1]. https://github.com/revanced

Just a small correction: it's not "YouTube" ReVenced, it's just ReVenced. ReVenced is a group dedicated to patching apps, but the group itself doesn't provide any patched apps.

It does provide this app to patch other apps: https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager

Highly recommend using F-Droid-capable phones/mobile support systems. Perhaps one day the iOS ecosystem will recognize the economic value of democratizing the platform, but until that day it's better to use open source software and as open of hardware as possible.

This is good advice. If you own an iOS device you should consider not owning an iOS device.

As a long time iOS user, I used a Pixel with Graphene for a whole year.

Android has so many rough edges, and the Pixel hardware is still a few years behind the iPhone. I switched back.

I miss syncthing and being able to install the apps that I want, but my phone is too important a device for rough edges.

What terms? I don’t recall agreeing to any?

I haven't agreed to any of that; don't remember signing anything. This stuff does not hold up in EU. My device, my rules.

I enjoy using newpipe for streaming music and podcasts on a phone. However I feel like nothing has changed for a while. My wishlist: viewing replies, after clicking on a timestamp it should stay in background mode (now it switches to popup), do not stack videos (back button should return to main page), searching within history, incognito mode.

It's the old problem of I don't care about anything that you advertised to me, don't care about most of the content that is eating your budget and simply won't stand for being called a criminal after being the reason you are a thing in the first place. You're trying to get my money, I'm trying to get your content. We both cheat. That's always been the game.

So if a store is trying to sell products, and you try to steal them, you are both cheating?
