Years ago I used NewPipe but when I wanted a little more from my app I switched the ReVanced until it started giving me more and more issues. For the past 3 months or so I’ve been using a cracked Youtube Premium app, but now it’s dropping every video after about a minute. So what’s everyone using these days to avoid all of Google’s bullshit but still watch Youtube content?

Libretube
LibreTube is working very well for me. It is even syncing my subs with Piped on desktop.
I’ve been using it…
Gotta get used to some things. My music playlists don’t work well because if I only listened to half a song it starts playing where I left off. That’s great for video but not music. I wish I could have two instances of the app, one for video and one for music.
Use Inner Tune for YouTube music, works really well. Basically an open source YouTube Music client
This is what I use. Works great!

Paying for YouTube Premium.
Not until they support Sponsorblock.
I don’t see a reason why Google should start supporting sponsorblock if even newpipe didn’t go that further to support it from ethical reasons.
What are this ethical reasons you are talking about?
BTW I know Google will never support it but for me it is a must have feature and not even premium can offer it to me, hence ReVanced is the way to go for me.
You may or may not agree. Here is their explanation: https://newpipe.net/blog/pinned/newpipe-and-online-advertising/
Firefox with Ublock Origin + YT Playback Fix extensions. I don’t regularly watch YT or follow people so this is sufficient for me.
repatch another youtube apk using revanced. no more buffering after that.
Newpipe with sponsor block is working great for me.
I thought the devs of NewPipe didn’t support Sponsorblock

They don’t, but there’s a fork.
May I suggest freetube?
Desktop client that emulates having a YouTube subscription / account. Sponserblock can be turned on. Can add channels, have a feed of videos, watched videos disappear when watched, etc.
I actually don’t have much of an issue with YouTube on desktop, but I’m back on Revanced on my phone.
For mobile it’s the front end for Invidious, Clipious.
I had some issues with revanced, uninstalled and reinstalled I think with a slightly newer YouTube version and it’s fine again now.
I enjoy the NewPipe + Sponsorblock fork
NewPipe-Sponserblock or LibreTube. Newpipe is definitely more reliable though, but a clunkier interface.
Easiest method is paying for the app you use.
Second best is Revanced. It works well, though the non-root version has trouble finding Chromecasts.
I’d probably patch Youtube even if I was paying for Youtube premium purely because of SponsorBlock.

Newpipe has been good for years.
