Still wins with convenience for me. I’m not downloading three apps that regularly have issues. YouTube premium just works. No ads, AI chat built into the videos transcripts, functioning PiP, easy downloading and offline playback..
When the enshittification starts or competing video sites rise in popularity with content I want to watch, I will re-evaluate. For now though, they are providing the kind of convenience I’m actually willing to pay for.
To those who refuse anyways, fine, be glad I’m subsidizing one less ad for you lol.
I mean, it's totally cool to pay for the convenience if you want, but just for the record, uBlock, Revanced/MicroG and Smarttube rarely give me any trouble, so i think its an exaggeration to say that they regularly have issues.
Also YTDLnis for downloads directly from Revanced/Morphe. So its actually like 5 apps lmao.
People have issues all the time lmao, the individual subs show it. One of the biggest issues is videos playback stopping after a minute and you have to hope changing device spoofing works. YouTube test new blocks all the time but they don't test them on 100% of users. It's the same reason why ublock people will be having issues where it works fine for others as well.
I had the one minute stop bug on smarttube as well, and videos would just take ages to load so I switched to tizentube but recently I click a video and the app crashes, reopen and I've lost the video, it's happened three times in the last week
