I’ve used most available services, but discontinued one after another along with promises that a better user experience will be provided with reduced content and removed functionality with the slight price hike. YouTube was my first and last video service I paid for, only Spotify remains on the borderline.
Based on the screenshot I assume that you used youtube premium lite (what ever this was…) on your smartphone. Therefore, here the obligatory recommendation for NewPipe. Quasi Youtube Premium as apk. It has all the features you need:
no ads
you can close the app and your videos keep running in the background
you can turn off the screen and your videos will continue to run in the background
There is also the fork NewPipe x SponsorBlock (link to repository) which integrates SponsorBlock into the app. (duh…) This will also skip the creator’s ad blocks in the video.
You geht downloads and subs with NewPipe, too. But it boils down to preference. And I prefere a open source app to begin with instead of patching something.
What Projects and People did you donate to this Novemver?
It is crucial for us to support projects we like, with code or with money....
So long... I'll not be returning (lemmy.ml)
