    Ok so I am a youtube premium subscriber. And to have the best experience, I had to install 4 plugins Sponsorblock, Dislike button back, Dearrow, ublock (to remove shorts).

    After thier recent changes to their search engine, it might be more efficient to cancel my subscription and use piped.

      If you feel like keeping YouTube premium you could always vpn to another country and get it for stupid cheap. I believe I vpn’d to Thailand and pay $2 a month for it. You only need the vpn to set up the sub and then you’re good to go.

        Pretty sure they just fixed the loophole. I tried to renew my subscription in India and they now require your payment method to be in the country you are subscribing in e.g. you need an Indian credit card.

        I use extensions with Firefox for PC.

        Unfortunately I’ve an iPhone so I’ve to deal with all of that crap. I only use the phone for music so no complains.

        However, I replaced my Apple Tv with mini pc running linux.

          yea, using linux or there’s revanced that recompiles/ repckages ? the youtube apk file into an advanced youtube installation file, with sponsorblock and all. this way if u had an android u could stream Youtube with all the enhancements to ur tv using chromecast. its free territory this open source universe !
