Comment on YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

  Or Revanced, or SmartTube or NewPipe etc etc. Fortunately and thanks to some great devs out there, we’re still able to give Google the big middle finger.

    I’ve found revanced to stop playing the video after a minute or two unless you frequently update it (which is a manual process)… I no longer listen to lectures while I run errands, because there’s now no convenient way to do it. Ads are out of the question, and finding a video I want to watch only to have it cut out as I get on the road has killed the experience for me

    I’m on Android, and open to suggestions

  Noob question: do I have to run my own piped server to use it?

    You can, but you can also use one of the many public instances like piped.video, piped.yt and many more

    No, you don’t have to. They have a list of public instances.

  Okay. Explain something to me. I’ve tried to use piped, but it’s just so dogshit slow. Unusably so.

  What am I doing wrong?

    I am not sure… are you using a shared instance or self-hosting? I self-host my own instance and have no issue since my deployment
