I have been a premium user for years. Mostly because I was using Google music before. With all this crap they are pulling, I cancelled. I cannot support this anymore.
Comment on Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox

I dont believe this will have the desired affect Google thinks it will. I, personally, will never buy Premium or switch to Chrome without an AD block. If anything, I will just download via linux or just not watch Youtube anymore.

Ever since I discovered Piped and LibreTube, I never looked back.And I used premium for years.
Nelots@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Piped is just too inconsistent for me. I gave it a solid month or two, but half the time I open it up none of the instances are loading any videos. Eventually I gave up and looked into other options, ended up using FreeTube.

Freetube on desktop, Newpipe on android. This is the way.

Revanced would like to know your location

This is what I do as well
illi@lemm.ee 7 months ago
It does have it’s issues, can’t deny that. Can use LibreTube as Android app and 99.9% of my youtube viewing is on mobile

How does libretube compare with revanced?

If only there was an easy way to selfhost piped or viewtube…
I swear there would be more instances if they made an easy step by step guide but I guess that’s life when you choose FOSS…

I’m not sure if this post was /s or not, but ViewTube is actually pretty easy to self host if you have a docker host in your current environment. They even provide a docker compose example on the wiki.

Could someone please give me a rundown of how these work/if they have mobile apps? I’ve been paying for premium pretty much since Vanced was killed (and also before I found Vanced) and really the only thing that’s stopped me from using a YouTube mirror is the lack of good mobile applications.
illi@lemm.ee 7 months ago
I found this is good explention:
LibreTube is on F-Droid for an Android app, pretty sure there is something for iOS as well but not sure. It hs its issues but I manage. Set up low tier patreon for some content creators from my “premium budget” too.

That’d actually quite interesting, thank you, I’ll definitely have to look into that more

Try newpipe through f-droid

It's possibly dedicated to messing around for people testing firefox after the news.

To be clear, is this delay skipped for subscribers?

I watch interesting vids people link back on occasion but have left it as a service I would browse and engage with and let me tell you, life got a lot better.
