Every time I see an unskippable ad, or a second ad, or fuck even 15 seconds of ads, or I just want audio, I open newpipe instead. Hopefully it keeps working.
Between SmartTube for my Chromecast, Vanced, and now ReVanced, I haven’t seen an ad or sponsor on YouTube in years.
Revanced ftw
I don’t know why, but it just doesn’t work for me. Videos keep buffering at 10 sec mark when I’m logged in.
Edit: Thanks for suggestions guys. I updated the manager and microG and repatched and it works now.
Let them make their move. We would come up with some solutions 😜
Fuck Google. Fuck YouTube. Let’s build the internet we want and deserve 🥰
Imagine a federated YouTube that load-balances server to server and every single individual instance was utilized for data storage and playback depending on the location of the viewer.
Everyone pitches in, servers have stats that can be looked up.
Imagine it.
Everyone pitches in
Aaaaaand that idea is dead in the water.
Something like Youtube requires way more bandwidth, storage and processing power per user than something like reddit. Which is why they’re trying to make more money.
Lemmy works because it doesn’t take all that much in resources to run an instance, and having single digit percentage of your users chipping in can be enough. A decentralized YouTube would not work quite the same, and you’d have a hard time keeping the creators paid too.
I have servers that are seeding massive torrents 24/7. I have hundreds of terabytes uploaded.
Let me load balance Peertube instances, damnit.
I sense endless buffering… and yet… I want it.
Isn’t that peertube?
I never knew about this. Thanks, Streisand effect.
NewPipe is one of my favorite apps, it is probably better than Invidious or Piped in my opinion because you don’t have to worry about a server being rate limited.
Here comes the censorship
First time hearing of Newpipe. Looks really good!
I havent used google search in a few years now, duckduckgo for me
Same, just the other day I googled piratebay on my friends computer and the original website is just not there. Such censorships are unknown to us
I would condemn Google; but it clearly states that a record label is targeting NewPipe; and not Google.
Is this a very chilling action for Google to take? You bet your ass it is! While I won’t blame them outright for this; it is now blatantly evident that Google has stopped spending legal money to defend against DMCA actions against things that they or their parent company Alphabet clearly do not like.
This is a blatant violation of Google and by extension Alphabet’s founding ethos; which is to “Do No Evil.” The ‘Enshittification of Alphabet’ has reared it’s ugly head again and it’s evident that is running through the company unchecked.
I recommend people continue to use projects like NewPipe, Invidious and Piped as well as federated alternates such as PeerTube. I would also urge all large creators to begin archival of their footage on PeerTube itself if possible and to look into spinning up a PeerTube instance for their content to be hosted ON…so that their content does not vanish with Youtube as it steadily “Enshitifies” itself to death. Do this now while the Youtube monetization train is still chugging so that you can get your fans onboard and willing to fund the instance so they don’t lose your content.
A note to creators: It will be easier to run off of Patreon and sponsors when on PeerTube; once Youtube has fallen.
FYI: it’s still on GitHub. It’s just the search results removed. Honestly…. I’m unsure why they did go full douche and do a DMCA on the GitHub.
Good ol’ enshittification. I’m glad that I haven’t used Google Search for a couple of years now, things serm to be getting even worse on it than other search engines. Fuck Google.
Honestly I barely use bare youtube anymore, even with uBO enabled.
I can get why those greedy comp trying to fight. THEY CAN TRY
All the links seem to be there for me
To me it shows the GitHub repo (at the top of the results), but not newpipe.net.
I’m new to this. Is newpipe available on apple?
Android only. Apple doesnt like good things under its umbrella
There is a similar app named Yattee, but it’s not exactly the same. It should still work well to watch videos privately, though.
I’ve never heard of it until now myself, so I’m curious too.
Kinda…. You need to be jailbroken or trollstore exploit and you can have uYou
Of course I went and redownloaded newpipe because I was reminded of it’s existence lol. It’s been a pretty good option for a while now. I mean I DO have YouTube premium and almost always use YouTube music for listening to streaming music, but the extreme ease of downloading is always a plus. A lot of the content creators I follow I like to give their videos traffic, but for a download on mobile, works great
Did Google asked for the DMCA against Newpipe? Just wondering.
DuckDuckGo to another search engine
sorry not sorry
