Stop using YouTube, go for new pipe/piped/invidious instead. Same content without the fucking bullshit.

Example: http://yt.whateveritworks.org

Freetube is another valid option

Or ReVanced

Cannot get this to work for the life of me. Worked for a bit, then it stopped working again and no amount of repatching fixes it

I ran into the same problem. Uninstalling and trying again without touching any of the options for setup worked instead of going in and messing with the toggles. I hope it helps. I would suggest you look for a Lemmy uhh... What do we call them? Subreddit? I mean they are on the other site too and perhaps you can get assistance there if you're still having issues

R🤮ddit has subr🤮ddits, while Lemmy has communities and instances.

There's probably a guide on the db0 instance

Definitely agree, but your link is protected by cloudflare (yet another centralized service destroying the internet) and therefore I'm unable to get through because I have privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled on my browser so cloudflare is unable to determine I'm human I suppose.

I despire youtube and it's monopoly, and I think it get's an appropriate amount of hate on here and HN, but what confuses me to no end are the people who complain about youtube turn right around and constantly recommend cloudflare. Can someone explain what I am missing?
