    They also went back on their policy of not allowing COVID and election misinformation.

    You want to support your favorite content creators? But their shit or donate to their Patreon. Almost none of them make money off YouTube’s ads.

    This right here is why I’ll never subscribe to Premium. The app sucks. The algorithm suggests me the same shitty Mr.Beast videos over and over, along with videos I watched for 8 seconds 12 years ago. Shorts suck. I don’t want to watch podcasts on my video app. I don’t want to watch livestreams ever. And I have control over none of it. And that’s the way they like it.

    I recently discovered some YouTube front-end apps that provide a better interface than the one in the native app. It was thanks to this comment made on another post about YouTube and ad-blockers:

    Not sure if you have seen this or not, but if not, do try some of them out.

      Main downside for me is that playlists fall out of sync with YouTube, so i can’t really use it alongside Revanced or YouTube in the browser. But i agree, it’s a good app, particularly if one can use it exclusively.

    Use Piped, there are Android apps like Newpipe and Libretube that use the servers. And also Freetube for your PC.
