    Ever since I discovered Piped and LibreTube, I never looked back.And I used premium for years.

      Piped is just too inconsistent for me. I gave it a solid month or two, but half the time I open it up none of the instances are loading any videos. Eventually I gave up and looked into other options, ended up using FreeTube.

        It does have it’s issues, can’t deny that. Can use LibreTube as Android app and 99.9% of my youtube viewing is on mobile

            Libretube is a totally different app whereas Revanced is just some patches on top of the official YouTube app, so the feature sets are going to vary a lot between the two. Libretube doesn’t let you log in to a Google account at all (but it does support importing a subscription list).

                Not that I know of, sorry! It looks like third-party apps like Newpipe don’t support Chromecast :/

      If only there was an easy way to selfhost piped or viewtube…

      I swear there would be more instances if they made an easy step by step guide but I guess that’s life when you choose FOSS…

      Could someone please give me a rundown of how these work/if they have mobile apps? I’ve been paying for premium pretty much since Vanced was killed (and also before I found Vanced) and really the only thing that’s stopped me from using a YouTube mirror is the lack of good mobile applications.

        I found this is good explanation: https://lemm.ee/comment/4966310

        LibreTube is on F-Droid for an Android app, pretty sure there is something for iOS as well but not sure. It hs its issues but I manage. Set up low tier patreon for some content creators from my “premium budget” too.
