Phone->revanced
Smart tv->smart tube next
I don’t ever watch YouTube on my laptop but I’m sure there are utilities available.
Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?
butterycroissant@lemmy.world 18 hours agoI wonder if there’s any workaround besides VPNs like changing DNS or something?

I prefer NewPipe to Revanced.

So long as you’re denying Alphabet the ad revenue, then you are doing the right and just thing.

Revanced is only in android right?
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 13 hours ago
I think so. Only apple product I ever had was an iPod, so I’m extremely unfamiliar with their ecosystem.

I use 1.1.1.1 so I don’t think it’s easily ignored by changing DNS. But interestingly while using Revanced and NewPipe on my phone I don’t have any of the same problems. Maybe my computer is ignoring my router’s DNS? Maybe mobile YouTube is delivered from a different server? I wish I new but ultimately using a VPN still works for me and is a very low effort fix.
What I don’t get is why it’s only YouTube they choose to throttle. I’ve never noticed any issues on other streaming websites and fast.com which literally uses Netflix servers is also full speed.
