@neppy@woof.tech yeah, especially right now it's best not to give these awful big tech companies your money i use newpipe on android / freetube on desktop to stream youtube videos, it's harder to replace youtube as a video platform because everyone is on it but you can limit how much they can track you by using a third party frontend, given you're fine with it breaking occasionally because of their endless cat and mouse game with youtube :neocat_sip: for music i gave up, i extract what i want with yt-dlp and keep it locally, it's objectively a better experience for me since i'm not dealing with crappy streaming quality and, again, the client breaking and leaving me with no music at all :neocat_thumbsup:
