      I’ve just started using newpipe and it’s great. I download audiobooks easily for when I’m working overnights and a few rooms get no mobile data

    Would be nice if they would implement a sponsor block type feature, but I doubt we will ever see that happen.

    I wouldn’t use those features even if they were available for everyone.

    Why the hell do you need a pip window to watch a 30 seconds video while you do something else?

    Why would you let the app automatically download garbage shorts that the algorithm decided that you are going to like

    Unrelated, but I just found out there’s a .youtube TLD. Not sure how to feel about this.

    Some features of premium actually sound really interesting, but I find myself struggling to reconcile my interest in both those features and the general idea of an internet that isn’t built upon ads with my strong dislike of Google and a sincere wish to give them as little money as possible.

      I have smart downloads and pip window and redesigned desktop watch page without being in the US.

        ”Jump ahead” and ”conversational AI” for some reason are US only.
