I am quite happy with the results I have. This was my third entry for #100DaystoOffload, I have been working on this site quite a lot, if you even remember how it looked just a few days ago. Newpipe also allows me to get the RSS of any channel I want with ease, so if I really wanted to get notifications, I could probably work with that if I really had to know if something gets posted. I guess this ended up helping me manage my time better, I would rather watch videos whenever I have the time, instead of receving a notification and having the urge of paying attention to it. This means that Youtube notifications suck, and that I don’t need them anymore To deal with this, I just kept Vanced installed, and I get notifications that way, however, I I realized that most of the time I would open Newpipe and update the video feed, and watch whatever video I wanted, and some hours later I would get the notification of said content. And more importantly for me (at least apparently), notifications. However, you also lose certain things, the ability to like and comment on videos. Newpipe offers many functions that Vanced does not, it allows you to download videos and playlists, listen to the audio of videos, etc. Sub to ChrisWere btw No more notifications □ Newpipe currently has a limited support on custom tabs, but it shows the groups in little icons at the top of the subscriptions page. Those features are like No Advertising or. I decided to look up every channel I actually remembered, and “subscribing” to them (you don’t really subscribe since the subs number doesn’t go up) and ended up with around 60 channels, which I currently follow.Īfter that, I decided to categorize them. So YouTube APK MOD Premium is the paid subscription service that youtube offers that comes with a lot of features. Back then I removed my subscription from a lot of channels, but I am probably reaching the same amount today. Last time I exported my subscriptions, I had 1000+ subscriptions, some channels did not even exist anymore, and I did not recognize most of them. Newpipe provides you with instructions to recover them if you so choose. A few years ago, Youtube offered a way to get your subscriptions on a OPML file, but they made it harder recently. So, when I did the switch, I started from scratch. NONE OF THESE CLIENTS ARE VERIFIED BY ME FOR SECURITY OR ANYTHING ELSE USE AT YOUR OWN RISK NewPipe (which you should have either way for youtube-dl/yt-dlp. So yeah, I was still being watched by Google, and it was not until a week ago, that I decided to do the full switch, and I installed Newpipe due to some interactions on my Mastodon instance. And yes, that was pretty convenient for me, but I still needed an account linked to the app if I wanted access to my Subscriptions. When I discovered Youtube Vanced, I was really happy, I had a way to consume Youtube without ads and, recently, without Sponsors. At the very least, I am typing a lot more and with better grammar (don’t me). When you create a Google Account, we ask for some. To use my time for something more productive, growing this site of mine and making it as nice as I can. You may also like the YouTube Vanced alternative or a YouTube Music Premium APK called NewPipe. That’s one of the reasons I made this blog too. And in times like these, it’s honestly the primary way of entertainment I have. I need Youtube, that’s how I learn stuff, that’s where my teachers upload their homework videos.

But, as great as it is, it also represents one of the main ways for Google to get revenue, serve ads and collect data from it’s users, which is big problem for people like me, looking for a way to stop them from getting every bit they can about my life. This site has the biggest catalog of videos. Just sharing the news as I believe it was someone here that initially turned my attention onto Vanced years ago.On my journey towards being googleless, there is one service that has no match: Youtube. One major feature missing that I've discovered is the lack of casting ability, which doesn't seem like it'll be implemented (although there are some workarounds). Still ad-free, background playback, even has a pretty nice and configurable built-in video downloader. Similar concept as Vanced, but slightly different looks and functionality. There are alternatives as I've recently discovered, with NewPipe seeming to be the best replacement. It's speculated that Google has DCMA'd YT Vanced (or some other legal action) causing the project to come to a halt. I've been using it exclusively for YT content for years now, so it's sad to see it go. If you don't know what Vanced is, it's basically a clone of the YouTube Android app that includes features such as, no ads and background playback (w/ screen off). YouTube Vanced will no longer see any future updates or releases.
