TLDR: Jump ahead button, PiP window, and smart downloads for Shorts

14

Save your wallet and install Newpipe.

I've just started using newpipe and it's great. I download audiobooks easily for when I'm working overnights and a few rooms get no mobile data

Stupid shorts I've turned them off completely in reVanced

Would be nice if they would implement a sponsor block type feature, but I doubt we will ever see that happen.

I wouldn't use those features even if they were available for everyone.

Why the hell do you need a pip window to watch a 30 seconds video while you do something else?

Why would you let the app automatically download garbage shorts that the algorithm decided that you are going to like

Unrelated, but I just found out there's a .youtube TLD. Not sure how to feel about this.

Some features of premium actually sound really interesting, but I find myself struggling to reconcile my interest in both those features and the general idea of an internet that isn't built upon ads with my strong dislike of Google and a sincere wish to give them as little money as possible.

TLDR: only in the US.

I have smart downloads and pip window and redesigned desktop watch page without being in the US.

”Jump ahead” and ”conversational AI” for some reason are US only.
