I can second this enthusiastically, especially since it also blocks ads and sponsored segments, customizes the UI, allows background playback, allows downloads, and more stuff too.
yup it blows my mind that this is a much better experience than youtube premium not to mention you get it for free
Pretty much sums up all forms of piracy these days, given how bad the official media landscape became.
or in some cases prices are simply outrageous, i can not afford to pay that much for a medical textbook i will just sail the high seas and repay my debt by saving lives
Even if individual prices aren't: no person with somewhat normal amount of income can pay for everything they're interested in (unless the scope of interests is very narrow). Streaming services here, "Patreon exclusives" there. It adds up. I miss the time where all professional content was just on Netflix instead of spread over 30 services.
The fact that free apps (or hacks, like Revanced) are better usually has to do with the incentives driving their development.
For services like YouTube, Hulu, etc., the developers are doing it as part of their job, with overall direction set by the company. They may not agree with the overall direction, or may not even use the product, but they have to do what the company says so they can keep their job and get paid.
On the other hand, for small independent projects, the developers use it themselves and are building it based on what they want plus community feedback. If it's open-source, other developers can contribute features they want to see, too.
This is why pirate video apps (both old ones like Popcorn Time, and also newer ones like Syncler, Weyd, CinemaHD, etc) generally have far better UX than the "official" services - it's developed with love, not with a "get this done so we can go home by 5" mindset.
There's also some things the official services don't even do. If you want to stream a movie in full quality (like a Blu-ray remux), the only way to do it is via something like Weyd plus Real-Debrid. None of the official streaming services have videos this high quality. Missed opportunity, IMO.
