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
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.
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.
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.

I pay for YouTube premium but still use Revanced since the regular app sucks.
same but with newpipe
You know what doesn’t suck?
I like revanced, but these are cooler :)
Or just Firefox on Android with Ublock.
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.
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
when newpipe stops working I’ll stop using YouTube 😂 maybe my life will be better, who knows

I swear pretty soon they’ll do DRMs at some point.
Shit article is a poorly written ad for YouTube premium
Imagine paying for something that’s worse

Go use NewPipe! Its Foss!
Grayjay still works? YT-DLP still works? I sleep.
The day Newpipe and all Inviduous instances die is the day I never use YouTube again.

You can do that?
Google are trying their best to make YouTube unusable. They’re about to succeed.
Guess i’ll download all of my medias and put them on a hard drive
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
Uh huh
This article is pretty much an ad for Youtube Premium
Came here to say this
But they’re just sharing the fact Youtube Premium™ offers a lot of people great benefits, like background play, and music!

I remember when YouTube had background playback for free. An update broke it, then it was put behind a paywall.
And a larger percentage of post operating revenue!
Piped?
I’ve been having issue with it the last couple days, but I also tend to just have issue with it overall lol
