Don't forget their ongoing war on ad blocking. I'll miss NewPipe so much.

NewPipe, PipePipe, Grayjay, brave mobile

One of them generally works.

The latest NewPipe is working for me right now. It only ever dies for a few days.

It's working, yeah, but it's ~~sideloaded~~ installed outside of a washed garden, so it'll soon be uninstallable.

The inevitable end is when they bake the commercials into the stream, take away the skip buttons and ban accounts for timeskipping over commercials through other detectable means.

The inevitable counter is we screencap youtubers, feed it through comskip, and produce commercial-free content and torrent it.

I've been using NewPipe without problems. Is it supposed to have gone away?

Mine insists I'm a bot and requests I sign in.

Other times it works occasionally.

Like rolling dice.

Pipepipe works fine

You can try Futo's Grayjay. Always updating its YT plugin when Google breaks it.
