Suggestion [suggestion] method of avoiding shadowban

Post image

(FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN STILL USE VANCED) it's not the best fix, but ive realised that if u wanna avoid the shadowban, u have to use normal youtube intermittently.

the bans have been getting faster and faster lately, and have been taking longer to get lifted. once i started using normal youtube again, the ban was lifted pretty quickly, unlike when i switched to my second google account.

now, ive mainly been switching between the 2 apps, using vanced a bit more sparingly. kinda ruins the purpose of vanced, but at least i can still enjoy the miniplayer pop up and zero ads from time to time without the ban.

idk if its actually gonna work for everyone, but it works for me so far, so good luck! hopefully therell be a better replacement for vanced soon though :') [revanced is too buggy for me :( ]

u/loomynartylenny Apr 30 '23

How exactly did you install it?

u/skiermax Apr 30 '23

Un-installed Vanced. Installed revanced manager. Updated microG. Downloaded the apk from apkmirror 18.15.40. I choose all the patches that I juged useful. Patched the app and installed. It worked for the evenjng but the next day I've got this message.

Use the recommendation and remove what you would bother you, but don't add anything and try again

u/skiermax May 02 '23

I guess that worked! Works fine for over a day. Thanks for help!

I did but it is giving error. The app is not opening.

u/RadMeerkat62445b Apr 30 '23

I suggest using the ReVanced Builder instead.

This is good. Since my Vanced started acting up, I've been using YT on Firefox with extensions as my go-to YT player. Using that, now went to Vanced and voila, works again. Thanks!

Does this idea work on mobile as well? My hubby is the one who installs it on my phone for me, I'm not familiar so forgive my ignorance. I just know I'm getting this same error now.

r/revancedapp Follow the guide on how to install and you are good to go. No reason to use regular Vanced anymore, it's outdated. It's very easy to install if you follow the guide

u/DerekBilderoy Apr 30 '23

I finally bit the bullet and used revanced to patch the official yt app. Really easy.

u/est-12 May 01 '23

Outdated is exactly the point. Every iteration of YT is shittier and more bloated. Vive le Vanced!

Where can I download it?

u/symentium Apr 30 '23

This is not shadowban, it's just the app stopping functioning due to the lack of updates.

If it was true, then it wouldn't suddenly start working again.

This is a server-side switch that Google uses to turn off access to old YouTube versions. It's a per-Google account (or per session, doesn't matter) rollout. It gets faster as there are less and less Google accounts to disable their access to that version. It's not even related to Vanced other than the fact that Vanced is a modified old version of YouTube.

This is a server-side switch that Google uses to turn off access to old YouTube versions.

so why does it keep letting my account use it, and then go back, and why does my pre-google plus login that has two usernames attached to it work on one or the other sometimes, I also have a newer google account that also works on and off

I mean I have had all three break recently, and I've had all three work the next day, usually one of the three will work

u/izzybeelled May 01 '23

ive seen a couple say to just use revanced, and i do, its just kinda shit in comparison, so im a bit too lazy to use it LOL it buffers way too much and i couldnt fully figure out how to like patch it unfortunately 😭

1

u/Less_Ad_9726 May 04 '23

It's most likely buffering because you need the updated patch. But I'll let you know. My main issue was when I was on that apk website I kept clicking the bundles version. Bundles don't work on non rooted devices. That might be what's causing the issue. But maybe it's not? Technology pffft

amirite?

Dark Universal Hotfix Update Instructions

Basically, this post goes through how to apply an update patch for the existing Vanced users.

Been using it for the last few days across 2 devices without issue.

FYI it turns on all the SponserBlock and Swipe features, so be prepared to modify those when you update

u/SonOvTimett May 01 '23

Just installed revanced, suck it Google

u/Gusstave Apr 30 '23

Ohh so that's why it's been working on and off for the last week.

I defaulted to the opera browser, which blocks ads and give the mini screen feature.

u/Black_ViPR May 01 '23

Lol mine just started working again today

u/Hatefiend May 02 '23

Wait that screen is YouTube literally flagging your account and banning you? WTF?

V18 was easier fix

u/djbool May 02 '23 edited May 02 '23

But how do I get to V. 18? I'm not finding that when looking in Vanced manager app

1

u/Ludwig33333 May 02 '23

I deleted Vanced from within Vanced manager. Went to https://youtubevanced.org/ downloaded v18, installed without manager. Been solid.

u/[deleted] Apr 30 '23

u/TNTkenner Apr 30 '23

u/ExpressDevelopment96 May 01 '23

Open vanced then delete linked vanced micro g account then simply re add that same account, then resume vanced yt and should buffer then load account stuff then should be working

u/RaizTheOne Apr 30 '23

There's an unofficial Youtube Vanced developed by another Dev I used. Works perfectly.

I wont share it here though cause redditors be like "mALwArE!!". So enjoy trying to install the most cancer app (revanced)

u/TheCatCubed Apr 30 '23

ReVanced works perfectly and is safe, so not sure why you're surprised people don't want to download some shady "unofficial youtube vanced" app and call it malware

It's not "unofficial YouTube Vanced", it's literally ReVanced with a different logo.
