For those on Android, workaround might be Rossman's new app (the guy fixing Apple PCs). Promise seem kinda alternative NewPipe app but with platforms (e.g.YouTubes) algoritms, following creators across different platform and possibility to log in to your accounts.

It has opensource plugins capabilities so if it gets popular it might keep growing and living from comunity support as well.

I'm not affiliated with that. I'm also yet the app. This is not add. AFAIK app is not monetized at this point.

On Android it's simple, patched with YouTube ReVanced Manager

I understand but app allows you to move from YouTube entirely if your fav content created release videos else where and in the future to support creators directly.

The app is supposed to be something like 10$, no subscription. Not sure if it's paid atm.

It is just an ask from the community. The app is free, you can use all the features free forever.

That being said, it is always ethical and a good choice to pay for the services you use, get value from.

I'd happily pay for YouTube if they hadn't done bullshit free shenanigans to kill their competition while expanding their reach.

I'll never pay for YouTube now.

Are you sure ? Because I could swear it has been announced as free . I have feeling there's even opensorce code available.

It is open source, but Louis said that albeit it is open source, the app is 10$ or something like that, but you are free to pirate it and he won't be stopping you.

Or, rather, the "premium" features. No idea what are those tho.

This is his approach to IP broadly speaking, I believe.

Edit for clarity:

If you can't effectively try something without paying, pirate it and pay if you want to and can support it.

It's a goodwill model.

Me neither but basic fueatures are already better in idea than YouTube app

you can watch videos without paying the fee. i havent actually encountered any premium features i dont have access to yet
