          NewPipe blocks Youtube from showing you video ads in the middle of your videos.

          Sponsorblock skips the sponsored ad reads, engagement farming, intro segments, etc that the creator puts in the videos themselves.

            Witchcraft, I say!

            Thank you for the info, grabbed it from f-droid and replaced my newpipe shortcut. Can’t wait to see it in action.

      Unfortunately these alternatives suffers from YouTube keep breaking logins then block your IP if you are not signed in after like 3 videos.

        There is no login option in NewPipe or PipePipe, you export your subscription from YouTube as a file and import them in any of these apps.

          The point is YouTube blocks your IP and your video don’t load if you don’t log in

          I know how this app works, I have used NewPipe for years already, this is a pretty recent problem.

            When that happens to me, I close the app wait 5/10 minutes and it fixes itself.

              Actually a longer wait than an ad would be.

              At least some of the weaker twitch ad blocker does tell you it is skipping ads and you get an estimated time it will be back up again.

              I just start up revanced and it just works.
