loxoCan't watch any YouTube videos anymore, what do I do now?
Don’t log in to watch youtube. You’re not one of those…(spits) youtube commenters, are you? Use 3rd party frontends for your subscriptions. Some don’t even need a google account.
gilaAny suggestions for 3rd party frontends which recommend videos algorithmically like when you’re logged in?
CubitOomOn my phone, I’ve been using newpipe for a few years with little complaints. I can import my Google account subscriptions to it but I can’t comment or rate.
On my home theater PC I have been watching YouTube via Kodi with a Google API for over 6 years. It works excellent and there is no ads. Although Google may at any time revoke access to the API or charge me a fee to use it. It is kinda technical to set up and requires Kodi which is a rather large package with a lot of python dependencies. So if you only want to watch YouTube and don’t want to set up a Google API or read a doc then it might not be for you.
Others comments here mentioned freetube which looks really promising and I might try it on my laptop.
I looked into it after being prompted to install youtube extension on Seren’s info page for its content listings, but I don’t think I qualify for an API key so I haven’t been able to configure it
Get the freetube electron app. It worked for me right our the box no configuration required probably because it uses an Invidious Instance.
