Is there a reason people go through all these steps for patching YouTube when you could just use NewPipe or LibreTube to browse YouTube without any ads, with background play, ability to download videos, and so on?
I tried Newpipe but I honestly didnt get on with it, I’m much too used to the stock UI of YouTube, I also like having an account that let’s me interact with others (commenting, liking etc). Plus Revanced has native Sponcerblock and RYD support. At the end of the day its to each of their own, but I much prefer it over the others.
me too, no interest in the social aspects of yt. I eventually had to give in to the fact that so much content has gone to video from my preferred format of text plus pictures… so Redtube is the best compromise for me because it doesn’t feed the algorithm
I use Libreube but I can understand that people would rather use a stock YouTube patch. You can’t like or comment on anything that doesn’t require a YouTube account for example and I get why that’d be a deal-breaker for some.

You can log in to ReVanced.
I prefer the gestures and UI of the stock YouTube app, so having a patched app is the best of both worlds.

try libretube
Can’t login to a google account on Libretube or Newpipe, a requirement for me
That’s… The appeal lol. You can subscribe and stuff but your data remains with you. But i get why that turns many people off
