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
How does libretube compare with revanced?
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).
Any method for blocking ads / patching chromecast? My kids and I do the majority of our YT surfing from the couch.
Not that I know of, sorry! It looks like third-party apps like Newpipe don’t support Chromecast :/
Freetube on desktop, Newpipe on android. This is the way.
This is what I do as well
Revanced would like to know your location
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…
I’m not sure if this post was /s or not, but ViewTube is actually pretty easy to self host if you have a docker host in your current environment. They even provide a docker compose example on the wiki.
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.
Try newpipe through f-droid
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.
