I've used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.

Based on the screenshot I assume that you used youtube premium lite (what ever this was...) on your smartphone. Therefore, here the obligatory recommendation for NewPipe. Quasi Youtube Premium as apk. It has all the features you need:

  • no ads
  • you can close the app and your videos keep running in the background
  • you can turn off the screen and your videos will continue to run in the background

There is also the fork NewPipe x SponsorBlock (link to repository) which integrates SponsorBlock into the app. (duh...) This will also skip the creator's ad blocks in the video.

I wish new pipe had a "save" feature. I like to save videos for watching later or whatnot. I am making do with a playlist called "saved" but still...

I didn't mean a download function. I want to save, as in "watch-later". Save way a "save" works onn lemmy/reddit.

That is what I do. Read my OP.

What is the difference?

[-] Gamey@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

Uhm, I just made a playlist called "later", I can't tell any difference to a watch later feature tbh.

[-] Arsecroft@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, sorry, I guess I dont understand the difference between watch later and a playlist. Since you metioned a playlist I assumed you were talking about saving the actual file to watch later.
