Worse than using YouTube without an ad blocker?
There is absolutely zero possibility that they can find a way to make my experience on YouTube worse than my experience on YouTube without uBlock.
That's a way to look at, but i'l personally still be using Peertube. instead of 3rd party YouTube apps.
Some of those alternative “YouTube” apps are not limited to YouTube as a backend/source of content. I don’t recall if it’s freetube, new pipe or both that allow using Peertube and YouTube from the same app, which helps bridge the gap in content / ease the transition from an end user perspective.
Newpipe supports Youtube, Peertube, media.ccc.de, Soundcloud and Bandcamp
Interesting. Thanks, I'll definitely be checking it out.
