NewPipe was failing me today, so I reverted back to the YouTube app. After the first ad (20 seconds), the app gave me a permanent blur.

  There really is no way to win, enshittification is winning.

  Maybe blur is just another benefit of cable-stayed bridges

  • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    No, cable stayed bridges would never betray me like that.

  Practical Engineering is also on Nebula (among other some high quality YouTube channels), and tou can get an ad-free yearly sub for around $30. Not giving my views or af-money to Google.

    Plus the money actually goes directly to the creators you watch.

    The fact that you knew the channel based on the subtitles is incredible 😂

      To be fair the topic is very specific. There are not that many big channels that talk about engeneering, esspecially bridge engeneering. At least not that I know of.

    If you’re considering Nebula, I’d, personally, go for the lifetime subscription. It’s the better deal after 5 years.

      10 years in my case. I’m grandfathered into a 30$ sub

      Better deal after 5 years, if they still exist and honor the lifetime subscription by the time 5 years have passed

  My friend consider: PipePipe.

  • abbadon420@lemm.ee ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Can I port my subscription list from newpipe to pipeline?

    source

    • Eeyore_Syndrome@sh.itjust.works ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      And settings as well. Yes.

    • refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes. PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe.

  • NONE_dc@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Pipepipe is great! Works really good so far.

  if you want an app, revanced is good. it has the same UI of the normal YouTube app (minus whatever you don’t want, like ads or shorts or news etc, it’s one of the most customizable ones I’ve seen) and besides adblocking has sponsorblock and return dislike and stuff built in (optional ofc) you can still use new pipe for downloads when you press the in-app download button and I like that feature a lot.

  my other suggestion is Firefox + ublock origin. can never go wrong with the classics haha

    If on ios, Unwatched is my holy grail

    source
  • Glent@lemmy.ca ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Where can one get revanced? Give a brother a link?

    source

    • penquin@lemm.ee ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Here here. Just do a quick search on how to use it. Basically, download a YouTube APK on a browser and patch it in the app. That’s it.

  Practical Engineering?

  • don@lemm.ee ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yup!

• parpol@programming.dev ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Grayjay still works fine.

  source
• penquin@lemm.ee ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Try Revanced manager. Or Tubular. Or FreeTube. Or Grayjay… There are so many. Even for android tv. There is YouTube next

  source

  • chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    FreeTube is currently broken, maybe for the same reason OP is having problems, YouTube changed something on their end. Although supposedly the fix is coming through shortly.

    source

    • penquin@lemm.ee ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s correct, that’s why it wasn’t the only one I mentioned. Grayjay is so damn reliable. Louis Rossmann is crazy and got grayjay on the freaking Google play store. Lmao

  You could also simply use firefox

  Have you tried changing your DNS to one of these:

  • 194.242.2.4#base.dns.mullvad.net
  • 76.76.2.2#https://freedns.controld.com/p2

  I had to look around for it, but newpipe po-token version is still working for me. It uses some different method of fetching the video, but with the same interface.
