Years ago I used NewPipe but when I wanted a little more from my app I switched the ReVanced until it started giving me more and more issues. For the past 3 months or so I’ve been using a cracked Youtube Premium app, but now it’s dropping every video after about a minute. So what’s everyone using these days to avoid all of Google’s bullshit but still watch Youtube content?
Revanced is a little bit more complicated, basically:
It may be that I just don’t know which APK to use? My OS installed up-to-date one says I can’t use it because it’s a split APK and I’m not rooted and that’s beyond me. The one I just downloaded was the newest I found on APKMirror but it’s failed to apply a bunch of patches and aborted during the process.
Do not download the newest from APKMirror. You should download the most recent version that is supported by the patcher. In youtube’s case, it’s 18.23.35. Here’s the link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/youtube/youtube-18-23-35-release/youtube-18-23-35-2-android-apk-download/
