Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former's app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

I might be mistaken but, I think cellular carriers force 480p. I always use a VPN and PipePipe, LibreTube, or Clipious so, I don't know for sure. Lol
And, I do look for PeerTube content sometimes.

Yeah, I don't think any of the "creator" advert things you mentioned have much to do with the big G. I'd guess that 70% of that goes to the channel. Hopefully that much or even more.

Either way, as someone who makes music and goes to local shows, I generally avoid YT and other big platforms. I encourage other bands to upload to PT and FunkWhale. They may as well upload torrents with how much artists get paid from streaming, and use whatever third party tipping platforms.

GrapheneOS removes all google garbage and sandboxes apps, along with other security and privacy enhancements.

Well, there's Gnutella.

This may be suitable. I'm not sure, I admit that I haven't used it mucb lately.
