      Maybe it’s a regional thing, they wanted some way to verify that I was really 18+. And Google requires a phone number if you want to create a new account, but I did make a couple more before this was a thing.

      Unfortunately Google requires a phone number, which is linked to my person verified by documents. So it’s not really private or anonymous. If you run a normal Android Google knows who you are anyway.

      I’ve had the same problem, in my case it was that my adblocker was blocking the domains used to track video position, which are mildly tracking-ish in nature.

    I don’t like having a google account that has google tracking any video I watch. Also… the recommendations are more addicting and with Tubular (NewPipe fork) and Freetube I just imported my subs and follow them a bit. Never had to deal with the shitty youtube website once.

    source

    • dai@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You’re worried about Google watching what videos you watch, presumably while signed into your Google account on an android phone?

      Unless you’re running Graphene that level of abstraction isn’t much in their way.

    Never got revanced to work on my phone (in spite of reading all the documentation and online advice, doing literally everything that was supposed to make it work short of jail breaking or changing to Graphene) and as for ublock, I use it but I prefer YouTube on a dedicated client to a browser tab since I usually have far too many of the latter open at a time…

    Besides, unlike revanced, NewPipe worked perfectly out of the box and it seems like PipePipe still does, so…

      have you tried revanced manager? i typically just download revanced manager, pop over to apkmirror and get the recommended version (in this case 19.43.41), downloading the v8 package, going back into revanced manager and clicking storage, selecting the apk, and then letting it run. if you select the custom branding patch you don’t have to uninstall the original youtube.

    How does ravanced even work.

    I mean, newpipe is just download install and it works.

    Anyone have a tutorial?

    (Also how would Revanced bypass age restricted if you need to sign in before youtube even sends the video over to you? Does Revanced use burner accounts like Aurora store?)

    source

    • Pilferjinx@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I think revanced uses a modified patch of youtube spoofing premium. I’m able to sign in using my regular account.

    This is weird… Where did you get your APK? From F-Droid or their website? The F-Droid version is always one or two versions behind the main repo.

    Try updating to the latest version via their website/GitHub.

  I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.

    If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.

      Well the first roadbump you’ll run into is that I’ve never heard of grooveshark. Power to you, those on the Fediverse who persevere will benefit immensely during these early adoption years.

  I had this happen recently with Freetube and the, very strangely, age restricted new trailer for a Darktide update. Hope the big brains figure out a work around. Even invidious fallback wouldn’t play it.

  there’s userscripts you can get for adguard for windows and tampermonkey that allow you to watch age-restricted stuff without being signed in.

  Why can’t invidious and piped do that?

  • yamanii@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  • mightyfoolish@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I think greyjay is the best YouTube app. I gave up on Newpipe the moment Firefox for Android reenabled extension support. I didn’t like the fact that the app needed a fork just for Sponsor block support.

    source

    • cmhe@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Well, with newpipes forks are possible in order to implement controversial features, with Grayjay they are unlikely because of its non-open-source license.

      Are you offering a cheaper way or more payout? Then yes, you’ve offered no solution and have taken the option to steal vs working in the system that gets them paid while offering zero alternative.

      Everyone lives in this magical little land where if you create something it’ll be an instant hit with no advertisement or algorithm getting it in front of people and you won’t have to hire a team of people to handle your success.

      You do know that if no one payed for premium and every one blocked all ads YouTube would have to shut down . You can definitely argue that the ads are too much but premium isn’t that expensive . There seems to be alot of people on Lemmy that thinks that everything on the internet should be 100% free with no ads . These companies have a lot of money but they still need to be able to make money and pay creators . Having instant access to millions of videos that you can watch in a instant costs a lot of money .
