What alternate Youtube frontends are there? And which ones do you recommend?
I've heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.

GrayJay just launched and it's fucking fantastic.
It combines YouTube and Twitch into one platform in a really intuitive way. Has its own comment system and rating system for videos. No ads obviously. It's a whole fucking thing and it's incredible.

and it's not free software. only source available with a license that doesn't allow forking.
And they do it so they can take down malicious copycats on Google Play
Which they could already do, with basic trademark law and just forcing all derivatives to be non-commercial. Cyrptominers are commercial.
Forcing all derivatives work to be non-commercial is incompatible with being open source.

Though I agree that they can already prevent usage of their app name with trademark laws.
Except you have to give one app credentials for all of your platforms. It's also 335MB!?
Time to upgrade if your phone can't handle 350MB lol
Time to upgrade your SSD because the new call of duty is 175GB lol.
What a fucking mindset you have on you there 💀
I get what you're trying to say but 350 MB is close to nothing in 2023.
What are you talking about, it's about 110 songs with a good enconder, that's like 8~10 albums.
That's close to nothing in 2023. It's not 2003 where 110 songs was huge.
Have you looked at the size of most apps recently? 350mb is slightly on the big side, but nothing crazy.
I'm not saying it in relative terms, but in absolute terms. 350 MB is lots of space that can be useful, it's certainly not "close to nothing".
Like, I fear to imagine how much shipping fic would I have to publish annually in order to fill 350 MB in my lifetime...
Also PS You are looking at the universal APK, which contains the binaries for all CPU structures. OBVIOUSLY the one that's meant for your phone will be smaller. Mine was like 170 mb
Dude it's basically nothing. Mp3s have been/could be considered small for like 10+ years. It's much larger than I think it should be but it's not like it's an unreasonable space hog. File sizes have been inflating steadily for years as internet speeds increase worldwide
Credentials? What are you talking about? There is not sign in or signup required for the app at all.
It's the universal build. Download for your architecture (arm64) which is 127 mb
