I'm sure they are working on a youtube messaging app behind the scenes.

I even had Youtube premium for a bit. Revanced is nice just to dial back some of the bells and whistles that isn't relevant to the video platform. The official app feels clunky.

I had YouTube Premium after Vanced was killed. I gave it a fair go. No ads- great, it is now back to how it was a decade ago. But also no SponsorBlock - and my God, how many channels I realised I couldn't listen to anymore when 50% of every video was an ad for one of three online services or games I'm definitely not going to ever pay for. So now I just... don't watch YouTube on my phone. Hurray?

Seriously, if the ads are supposedly worth €15 a month, pay the fucking YouTubers enough that I don't have to listen to a linguist try to sell me WarThunder

I know, right? So many creators even explain why they do that, it's because they can't make enough from youtube to do this full time, but they can from raid shadow legends.

YouTube premium would be worth something if all the creativity their creators have to use to make a living despite the pay was used for better content.

I still think premium should allow you to block sponsors. YT should make them be sections that are removable.

Id really like to use revanced while paying for premium if it means it doesn't get borked every x months and I don't risk getting banned, kind of like Spotify tolerates 3rd party clients as long as they are premium accounts

yeah I use revanced + YT premium for sponsor block. Haven't experienced any issues yet though

I mainly watch it on my Roku TV and it is TERRIBLE. Idk if they've updated it in years.
