TLDR: Jump ahead button, PiP window, and smart downloads for Shorts
I’ll just use GrayJay, thanks.
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
Would be nice if they would implement a sponsor block type feature, but I doubt we will ever see that happen.
Revanced has that, as well as a load of other features. Can be used without root access these days.
Unrelated, but I just found out there’s a
.youtubeTLD. 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.
Stupid shorts I’ve turned them off completely in reVanced
Thanks for the TLDR
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
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.
