You can put up with that... Or you could just switch to a Piped instance and be done with it all.

Piped is great, the content goes through a proxy so there's no interaction with YouTube servers and your account and subscriptions are also isolated.

So wait how does that work? Are you still using your YouTube account on Piped or is it something else?

[-] QuinceDaPence@kbin.social 13 points 1 year ago

No, you make an account on that piped instance.

You can of course export your yt subscriptions as a CSV file and import them into Piped, and you can also use a difference instance to host your account/data as the one you're using to stream the content. Did I mention built-in sponsorblock support and native apps like LibreTube?
