    Why are so many of you alergic to paying creators to make videos? I get doing it on most sites, but buy premium of the sites like nexus mods or YouTube where people make content so they aren’t making shit you enjoy for free.

      Some of us pay for premium but still use Revanced and Freetube because they are simply better youtube clients. Sponsorblock, OLED themes, customizable UI, better performance, etc. The adblocking is just icing on the cake

        Wasn’t aware any of them had baked in Sponsorblock or OLED themes. I might look into those platforms if that’s the case. But yes, Youtube does need to keep up on features instead of paygating the ones that already exist (like queue).
