        I use it often, but sadly I also must use other front-ends, becuse not all YT videos are working or don’t even appears in the searches (Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, ViewTube, DTube, Tubo…). Hard work for devs like you to show the middle finger to YT, congrats.

    easy fix: don’t use the app on your phone.

    instead use youtube via your browser with adblock (for instance safari + adblock pro) and create a shortcut on your homescreen. you can use youtube just like in the app, you won’t have any ads and you also can play videos with your screen turned off

        why installing something when you just can use your browser and get basically the same experience?

        Also those apps will be useless when they mess around with the api just like reddit did.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if in the near future they make it so the only way to watch Youtube on mobile is through their app. It seems like they’re getting desperate, and that seems like the logical conclusion.
