For Android:

Newpipe or Tubular (Newpipe X Sponsorblock fork)

VueTube (still under development, the team is working slow because it's pretty small, they have a few time to spend on it and they need devs, it's a complete FOSS alternative to Vanced, and will have most of its features including optional Google log in with interactions)

If you need to login and have a full YouTube experience: Revancedapp

I tried it and I still prefer Newpipe, but it's cool to have a lot of alternatives for everyone!

I'm sure there's a way to get around it, and if there isn't, then I just won't be using YouTube anymore. I survived before it existed. I'm getting tired of these companies' bullshit.

The one thing the Reddit exodus has taught me, is that I'm almost eager for a reason to ditch my social media and either find something new or simply take back that time and do something more fulfilling anyway.

I'm so much happier not being constantly blasted with advertisements, that now when I have to go back on insta or FB for whatever reason, I can't stand more than 30 seconds before I nope back off.

Looking forward to axing YouTube from my life next.
