This article is pretty much an ad for Youtube Premium
But they’re just sharing the fact Youtube Premium™ offers a lot of people great benefits, like background play, and music!
And a larger percentage of post operating revenue!
Background play is bloody annoying if you don’t use YT for music. I prefer videos to stop when I switch apps, then resume when I switch back. Now they keep playing.
And I’m starting to get recommendations of music that I can’t remove or tell it I’m not interested in.
I remember when YouTube had background playback for free. An update broke it, then it was put behind a paywall.
Came here to say this

Google are trying their best to make YouTube unusable. They’re about to succeed.
Guess i’ll download all of my medias and put them on a hard drive
when newpipe stops working I’ll stop using YouTube 😂 maybe my life will be better, who knows
There was a different article earlier today and they were speaking about stuff like ReVanced and API access. Since new pipe has not agreed to the APIs terms and services, that means they should be safe
That article is dogshit.
“Finally”? Barf.
I pay for YouTube premium but still use Revanced since the regular app sucks.
You know what doesn’t suck?
- Freetube on PC
- Libretube on Android
- SmartTube on AndroidTV
I like revanced, but these are cooler :)
same but with newpipe
If only there weren’t trying to make YouTube less usable. Currently if I listen to podcasts on YT and take a break, in a few hours it can completely forget that I was watching it, it’ll be gone from my watch history. This is so frustrating with 2-3 hours long videos.
Any indications that NewPipe or SmartTube will stop working?
Maybe, the ideia is to force everyone to use the site/app, like Twitter an Reddit did.

That link isn’t necessarily related, as thats from 2023. And the new good news is it appears in the serp now!
But it’s Google going after Newpipe, if it did back then it could do it again in other way
Youtube alternatives like peertube need to get their act together and think about how to remunerate content creators. Ain’t nobody moving from youtube to peertube that wants to pay their bills with content creation. Nobody.
Why should PeerTube bother with that though? We all know YouTubers won’t switch to it, infact, YouTubers will not use another platform ever.
They could just upload their videos to multiple places, but they don’t. I think it’s clear that the vast majority doesn’t actually care about it. So what is the point of trying to appeal to them? They may as well priroritize their existing userbase, who are fedi hobbyists.
Ask yourself why they won’t and take economical realities into account.
What economic reality? Most of their income comes from sponsorship deals and Patreon subscriptions anyway. YouTube ad revenue is so unreliable that pretty much no content creator I follow considers it a primary way to make money. How could uploading your videos to other platforms in addition to YouTube have a negative impact on that?
Just no, please no, for the love of god no ? that way inevitability leads to enshitification. YT itself is a giant shitshow from decades past
What do you want content creators to live on?
Grayjay still works? YT-DLP still works? I sleep.
I swear pretty soon they’ll do DRMs at some point.
Go use NewPipe! Its Foss!
Piped?
I’ve been having issue with it the last couple days, but I also tend to just have issue with it overall lol
If ReVanced fall anyway there still exist alternative frontends like NewPipe.
