This article is pretty much an ad for Youtube Premium
But they’re just sharing the fact Youtube Premium™ offers a lot of people great benefits, like background play, and music!
And a larger percentage of post operating revenue!
Background play is bloody annoying if you don’t use YT for music. I prefer videos to stop when I switch apps, then resume when I switch back. Now they keep playing.
And I’m starting to get recommendations of music that I can’t remove or tell it I’m not interested in.

Google are trying their best to make YouTube unusable. They’re about to succeed.
when newpipe stops working I’ll stop using YouTube 😂 maybe my life will be better, who knows
There was a different article earlier today and they were speaking about stuff like ReVanced and API access. Since new pipe has not agreed to the APIs terms and services, that means they should be safe
“Finally”? Barf.
I pay for YouTube premium but still use Revanced since the regular app sucks.
You know what doesn’t suck?
- Freetube on PC
- Libretube on Android
- SmartTube on AndroidTV
I like revanced, but these are cooler :)
Or just Firefox on Android with Ublock.
Eh. Mine freaks out and fails half the time I try to go full screen. And the frame rate seems like it gets awful randomly.
Skill issue
That works, but If you are okay with that experience, I encourage you even more to give libretube a try
It’s open source, and doesn’t collect user data, and works in my opinion better than firefox+ublock on android
On pc firefox+ublock is great, for now at least
I don’t want to spend more time on youtube. Shit UI acts as a feature.
same but with newpipe
If only there weren’t trying to make YouTube less usable. Currently if I listen to podcasts on YT and take a break, in a few hours it can completely forget that I was watching it, it’ll be gone from my watch history. This is so frustrating with 2-3 hours long videos.
Youtube alternatives like peertube need to get their act together and think about how to remunerate content creators. Ain’t nobody moving from youtube to peertube that wants to pay their bills with content creation. Nobody.
Just no, please no, for the love of god no ? that way inevitability leads to enshitification. YT itself is a giant shitshow from decades past
What do you want content creators to live on?
Any indications that NewPipe or SmartTube will stop working?
Maybe, the ideia is to force everyone to use the site/app, like Twitter an Reddit did.

That link isn’t necessarily related, as thats from 2023. And the new good news is it appears in the serp now!
But it’s Google going after Newpipe, if it did back then it could do it again in other way
Grayjay still works? YT-DLP still works? I sleep.

Go use NewPipe! Its Foss!

If ReVanced fall anyway there still exist alternative frontends like NewPipe.
Piped?
I’ve been having issue with it the last couple days, but I also tend to just have issue with it overall lol
The simple fact is that YouTube just isn’t good enough to pay the amount of money for that Google wants for it. Accordingly, if other ways to use it besides premium aren’t available, I’ll stop using it and recover some time in my day.
