YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps like ReVanced
YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps like ReVanced
YouTube goes for the jugular as it begins cracking down on third-party apps
This article is pretty much an ad for Youtube Premium
100But they're just sharing the fact Youtube Premium™ offers a lot of people great benefits, like background play, and music!
31And a larger percentage of post operating revenue!
12Background play is bloody annoying if you don't use YT for music. I prefer videos to stop when I switch apps, then resume when I switch back. Now they keep playing.
And I'm starting to get recommendations of music that I can't remove or tell it I'm not interested in.
6I remember when YouTube had background playback for free. An update broke it, then it was put behind a paywall.

Came here to say this

I don't care who the IRS sends I'm not paying YouTube Premium
62Google are trying their best to make YouTube unusable. They’re about to succeed.
50Guess i'll download all of my medias and put them on a hard drive

when newpipe stops working I'll stop using YouTube 😂 maybe my life will be better, who knows
32There was a different article earlier today and they were speaking about stuff like ReVanced and API access. Since new pipe has not agreed to the APIs terms and services, that means they should be safe

23"Finally"? Barf.
22If only there weren't trying to make YouTube less usable. Currently if I listen to podcasts on YT and take a break, in a few hours it can completely forget that I was watching it, it'll be gone from my watch history. This is so frustrating with 2-3 hours long videos.
14Any indications that NewPipe or SmartTube will stop working?
12Maybe, the ideia is to force everyone to use the site/app, like Twitter an Reddit did.

Grayjay still works? YT-DLP still works? I sleep.
9Youtube alternatives like peertube need to get their act together and think about how to remunerate content creators. Ain't nobody moving from youtube to peertube that wants to pay their bills with content creation. Nobody.
9Why should PeerTube bother with that though? We all know YouTubers won't switch to it, infact, YouTubers will not use another platform ever.
They could just upload their videos to multiple places, but they don't. I think it's clear that the vast majority doesn't actually care about it. So what is the point of trying to appeal to them? They may as well priroritize their existing userbase, who are fedi hobbyists.
3Ask yourself why they won't and take economical realities into account.

Just no, please no, for the love of god no ? that way inevitability leads to enshitification. YT itself is a giant shitshow from decades past
1What do you want content creators to live on?

I swear pretty soon they'll do DRMs at some point.
4Piped?
3I've been having issue with it the last couple days, but I also tend to just have issue with it overall lol

Go use NewPipe! Its Foss!
3If ReVanced fall anyway there still exist alternative frontends like NewPipe.
2Uh huh
1The simple fact is that YouTube just isn't good enough to pay the amount of money for that Google wants for it. Accordingly, if other ways to use it besides premium aren't available, I'll stop using it and recover some time in my day.
