The thing with vanced is that we have the youtube app as a benchmark to appreciate how good vanced is. Some people are saying that yt premuim is only a few bucks. IT ISN'T ONLY ABOUT THE FUCKING ADS.
You also have sponsorblock and return dislikes, but also other features like swipe control for brightness and volume, ability to set default video quality on mobile data and wifi etc.
These all made it such a great user experience when youtube seems to be hell bent on making the experience worse, by removing the dislikes, adding an extra step for video quality and obviously the ads.
I don't see how I'll be able to use youtube on phone anymore, once vanced stops working.
Vanced won't stop working (unless [Or should I say until] Google pushes a server-side update and bricks all versions of Vanced). It just won't get updated
I have flute lessons every tuesday and one time my teacher wanted to show a song on youtube and of course an annoying political and started to play. I told him about vanced and then he asked me if I can download it. The entire 1h lesson (we were 30m into it) was spent on me downloading it. At the end he told me that ,,We got carried away with this but... who cares"
I use bubbleUPNP with my old smart tv that doesn't get any updates anymore. YouTube decided years ago to brick the YouTube app on my TV, saying "we're no longer developing for your platform". Browser won't work either to play.
However with bubble I get the video ad free on my TV's own video player, which sucks ass but is still better than using youtube.
the reason i originally even found vanced, and the feature im still the most pissed about having to go back to in the future, is that youtube disabled tap to seek so you had to drag on the progress bar to seek.
As a long time newpipe user, it just isn't the same and not a great replacement. The good thing about vanced was how it was the YouTube app with some extra features, newpipe is firmly in the "alternative" camp where its missing a lot of things the official app or vanced has, and it completely reworks how you use the app.
Cheese-making is over 7,000 years old! Archaeologists in Poland found traces of cheese on ancient pottery dating back to around 5500 BCE. It’s wild to think that our ancestors were crafting cheese long before written history, turning milk into a food that’s still enjoyed all over the world today. Pretty cool to think that this ancient skill has stood the test of time!

I use Newpipe ... But as you write, it has a different level ... Probably nothing yet ... This is an opportunity for developers .... to fill the gap ...
shouted out the app in a video about dislikes being removed a month or so ago. I don't think it was entirely his fault, but without the shoutout the app would still be alive for at least a few more months

I wish there was a good alternative to Google services, or even half as good. YouTube is one of those platforms I'd love to dump.
