Just like the title says; I’m interested in being able to sleep to YouTube without ads, but I don’t fuck with their business practices and they don’t deserve my money. Unfortunately, I’m also a very inexperienced pirate and I’m unsure where to look.
Edit: for clarity I’m using a OnePlus 7 Pro with earbuds
When vanced went dark I downloaded a bunch to try. Libretube, newpipe, clipious, and pipepipe.
Mostly I’ve been using pipepipe. A fork of newpipe. It has seemed faster and less buggy from the start. It opens invidious links. It just seems to work better.
While libretube has the best import/export options (it can import playlists and bookmarks etc) it can be incredibly buggy and clunky.
