NewPipe for Sure. Normal YouTube apps is bloated as hell + NewPipe is very nice to listen music
NewPipe has only one problem: the inability to log into your Google account and keep your subscriptions and watch later playlist synced.
"Problem."*
Those of us who degoogled see this as a pro not a con.
I'd also blame youtube, iirc there is no way to export your playlists to a .csv, which could then be imported to something like newpipe easily. Of course, youtube doesn't want to let you do that because the only thing keeping people from newpipe is really this "sunken cost" aspect to it.
I'm not in any way de-Googled, but I'm an old person who just wants to watch the occasional youtube link without all of the extra bullshit, and newpipe is perfect for that. Not having subscriptions or being able to login to my Google account is absolutely a feature, not a bug.
Also, quick plug for NewPipe x SponsorBlock which can be added to F-Droid (I've since switched to Obtanium for it)
And of course, though you can't import your old playlists, you can still create new ones to use with newpipe.
Hell, you might be able to just make your old playlist on youtube "public" and access it with newpipe, and then bookmark that whole playlist, now that I think about it.
