I tried using Invidious, but found that it misses quite a lot of new posts in my subscriptions. So in the end I ~ahem~ flew to Ukraine to take advantage of family Premium for around £3 a month.
Because honestly, I have no real problem paying for Premium, but I massively object to paying £20 A MONTH to watch (mostly) amateur content that YouTube aren’t actually paying anyone to commission. How is Disney+ almost half the damn cost of a YT Premium family plan? Because Google are money-grubbing cunts, that’s how.
Mine has been working fine, but the instance did lose all my "Mark as watched" videos, and for some reason one specific channel never makes into the Subscriptions panel, but I just have it as a favourite and it ends up almost the same. The instance I was using for Piped is now borked, so I'm hanging onto Invidious for now.
Newpipe is damn near perfect. No ads either.
