    I’m holding out for Premium Lite Pro.

      Nah, you better wait. I’ve heard that Youtube 2 is almost out.

      I think that’s called grayjay.

    So a way to remove ads at the cost of $ and better tracking. Instead, I’ll stick with piped, greyjay, unlock, etc and make it harder to track me and save the $.

    Fuck Google.

      I have no problem paying, just let me use my app of choice and don’t track me. If YouTube did that, I’d be a paying customer instead of a leech.

    Still doesn’t allow background playback though, so it’s useless to me

      And that’s why I sideload a modified YouTube that includes ad blockers, sponsor segment skipping and background playback, among other things.

        I won’t pay for YouTube almost solely because Revanced is such a better experience than YT could be. They cannot bundle in Sponsor block without an outrage.

      Try Grayjay. It supports background playback.

    I’ve always wondered why Google doesn’t include a YouTube subscription with YouTube TV. They charge enough for it already…

      Because why make less money when you can make more money

      Because you haven’t approached the situation with the mindset of a careless greedy fuck.

      Why would the actively make search worse to try and drive engagement time?

    Is that like PipePipe for idiots?

  • Bali@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I feel the battle will get harder for extractor like NewPipe. I really hope NewPipe will always work despite Google constantly changing their YouTube code.

    Didn’t they already have this before but removed it? At least in my country a “lite”-variant was available but they removed it like last year.

    That’s quite the oxymoron

    They’ve needed this for a long time.
