fne8w2ahGoogle raising price of YouTube Premium to $13.99 per month
gutterThat’s nice. continues to enjoy effectively yt premium with NewPiped for free
It crashes decently often but still worth it
It has never crashed for me. Not once. In what device are you using it?
ReVanced is the way.
VioletteReiI don’t find a way to download easily videos like on Youtube Premium, do you know how?
Historical_GeneralYou can enable it on settings, you’ll probably have to download one of the suggested apps that do this, newpipe is probably best.
Yeah. You have to download in an external app. That was something I did use a fair bit with premium but it’s no biggie that it’s gone for me.
Install Newpipe.
Tap the share button in the YouTube ReVanced app.
Select Newpipe. It’ll ask you some info about the download, then start downloading in the background.
Seems like a good alternative. Do you know if there a way to import my current subscriptions?
Also, I’ve been using the music service for some time now as well. Do you have any suggestions for viable replacements for that?

YouTube Music ReVanced exists if that suits you.
ReVanced can patch quite a few apps, actually, not just YouTube.
What all do you use it for?
I mainly just use ReVanced for YouTube and YouTube Music. It supports some other apps I use (like Twitch or Spotify), but there are better alternatives to those two.
Someone created a version of the Twitch app that supports BTTV emotes, blocks ads, auto-claims channel points, and auto-updates whenever there’s a new version available. They called it BTTV, though I don’t believe they’re actually associated with the BTTV browser extension.
As for Spotify, I use xManager. They patch the Spotify app to allow ad-free music, among other Spotify Premium features. (Not every Premiums feature is enabled. Some require communicating with Spotify’s servers, and those aren’t enabled.)

SmartTubeNext on AndroidTV. Complete with SponsorBlock and everything.
Blocking YouTube ads I support.
Sponsorblocker is just shitty. That money goes directly to the content creators, not Google. It hurts the wrong people.
Besides, you can fast-forward those.
Yeah, I’m personally cool with sponsorships and I rock uBlock Origin
Does SponsorBlock automatically skipping vs me manually scrubbing actually make any difference to what the creator receives in compensation?
No, I doubt the analytics software can tell the difference. It just sees the user skip from timestamp X to Y
BriongloidI use SponsorBlock because I pay for YT Premium.
Besides what others have said, many YouTubers that include sponsor segments get paid a flat rate for doing so before/when the video is published. They don’t get recurring revenue based on sponsor segments, only from YouTube ads.
I refuse to watch ads anywhere, sorry.
