      For Desktop, you can use FreeTube

      • Private viewing by default
      • Supports all platforms (Yey Linux)
      • No ads
      • Can create seperate profiles (Helps me with productivity)
      • Download the video is required

      Only downside

      • Can’t comment on the videos

            Oh more options, thanks! Would you know if watching videos through any of these adds to the official video watch count? It would be nice to still contribute to the engagement metrics for some of the desktop content I watch

      You can’t use ReVanced on desktop. I was mostly being sarcastic and saying everyone would just start watching on their phones. But I do most of my YouTube viewing on mobile anyway, so if I started getting hit with this, this is literally what I would do.
