I always somehow miss when it stops working and by the time I go to YouTube again it's already working again.

Self-Hosting is the only option right now.

PipePipe in case NewPipe can't load the video because it requires sign in

[-] Chev@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

There is no option to sign in on NewPipe. NewPipe works perfectly for me for years now. I even use the Sponsorblock Fork to skip the sponsored segments from the Video Creators

Well, down the list we go...

FreeTube breaks regularly and doesn't have support for higher resolutions.

Can anyone tell me why my "purge cache" button is missing? I thought i was crazy

[-] neurospice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 6 months ago

It's gone because people were using it irresponsibly.

Ads aside, what's been infuriating me lately is that YouTube seems to have degraded the quality of existing videos and locked the previously available quality behind the "1080p Enhanced Bitrate"; I have no way of confirming this since I obviously don't have Premium, but I'm fairly sure that the regular 1080p of old videos that I rewatch from time to time (uploaded 2-3 years ago or earlier) is now worse than it was. If it was about new uploads with something previously unavailable, it would've been somewhat understandable. Something also tells me that the paid tier is also going to get ads eventually.

[-] lastweakness@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

From everything I've read, it seems they didn't actually reduce quality and it's just placebo from the introduction of the premium bitrate option.

I'm guessing they're going to use the classic method of increasing the subscription price and then later creating a new lite subscription that does have some ads.
