The federal government asked Google to turn over information on anyone who viewed multiple YouTube videos. Privacy experts say the orders are unconstitutional.
I don’t know why anyone is using youtube directly when they can use Newpipe or Freetube. No ads, sponsorblock and even the ability to automatically skip intros, recaps etc On top of that no google account tracking or algorithms.
Edit: Adding “libretube” as well based on some of the replies to this comment.
and for suggestions? i want an homepage that welcomes me when i open the app, that says you could watch this or that, continue watching this or maybe u would like this other one

I would love to but I mainly watch YouTube and other video content on my living room TV. That’s probably a barrier for a lot of us.
If you have some kind of Android TV device you can probably install SmartTube to have no ads and sponsorblock: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext
Or Playlet on Roku.
I use Newpipe on an Nvidia shield in my living room.
Either because they’ve never heard of it, they think it’s difficult to set up, or they think it’s less polished or reliable.
I’d go with “because they’ve never heard of it”. It’s no more difficult to setup than any other application. See the download page.

Oh, it’s not, they just think it is. I have personal experience of this.
Are you saying it’s not easy to install? If so, what’s the difficulty?

I’m saying it is easy to install, but people think it isn’t.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, not sure what can be done to improve that. Installation methods are only a click away 🤷

no suggestions, horrible ui and ux
Try libretube. It’s more UX-y. I personally like the simplicity of Newpipe but I can get why it’s not for everyone.
and for suggestions? i want an homepage that welcomes me when i open the app, that says you could watch this or that, continue watching this or maybe u would like this other one
I think libretube has that.
last time i checked it didn’t have that
