Not even speaking about all the ads in the default YouTube app without a subscription.

The app is basically useless in my opinion. It defaults to freaking 240p for every video. My phone is definitively not the problem, also not the Internet connection. Watching in Firefox on the same connection gives me normal expected quality.

This was better on some "feature phones" without touchscreen!!! YouTube app works and playback is in 720p / 1080p

But we have apps that do that. Clipious. Newpipe. Libretube.

[-] popemichael@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, but there are drawbacks to each one. For example, with new pipe, if I find a channel that I like I have to remember to like it on all of my devices individually.

I'd much rather use the mobile YouTube as it works perfectly and I can use any add-on I wish to modify the experience without issue.

This guy has lots of devices. 1st world problems, so sad. (Just kidding though) What if you dedicate one device to watching YouTube? Or is your approach to devices truly this chaotic that you have to have every app on every device? Why even have more than one device then?

God forbid you watch videos in your tv, computer and phone depending on what you're doing during the day

[-] rurutheguru 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah valid point. My computer is my TV, so I only have 2 devices to switch between.
