there's userscripts you can get for adguard for windows and tampermonkey that allow you to watch age-restricted stuff without being signed in.
Why can't invidious and piped do that?
I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.
If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.
Well the first roadbump you'll run into is that I've never heard of grooveshark. Power to you, those on the Fediverse who persevere will benefit immensely during these early adoption years.
Well darn, guess I should have said Spotify. Grooveshark predated Spotify and was centralized but allowed uploading and sharing.
Soulseek is another a great place for sharing and talking about music, its one of the oldest p2p network that's still active.
youtube-dl won't even download them now.
You can, if you pass cookies from your browser to the command line. The easiest way is to specify your browser, e.g. yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox
I don't have an account so that probably won't work. Thanks though!
Since when?
Classic actions of a horrible company doing horrible things.
"It's for the safety of the children"
YouTube soon to update terms of service to include "We must secure the existence of ads and a future for youtube-watching children"
I'm still mad at them for disabling the "add to watch later" button on video marked as "for kids".
Both newpipe and libretube stopped working for me. I'm now using grayjay
Newpipe hasn't stopped working... If it errors, just close the video and refresh your VPN
I'm using a fork called pipepipe. It has worked pretty well for me so far and has some extra features including sponsorblock
I've been using a fork called Tubular too. When I meant newpipe, I referred to tubular as well
YouTube ReVanced still works phenomenally.
Weird, since yesterday revanced doesn't seem to work anymore for me so I went back to newpipe.
Mine stopped working yesterday too, it just needs an updated patch version. There is a new version of the revanced manager that I think requires a manual download/update first and then the youtube apk version to apply the patches on is 19.43.41
I tried patching it yesterday, nothing changed but today I got an update on revanced and the suggested youtube version has also changed. After patching with the 19.43.41 version it seems to be working again.
Sometimes requires a re-patch to the newest APK they support
I'm not giving google my documents to confirm my identity, I'll pass
As if they don't already know everyones age by now from our collected data.
They actually sent me an email one time that basically said: "We've changed some settings for you since yoi don't look 18+"
As if any of us are actually anyone ;D
i don't understand why people don't just use revanced and ublock?
Does revanced come with sponsorblock?
I don't like having a google account that has google tracking any video I watch. Also... the recommendations are more addicting and with Tubular (NewPipe fork) and Freetube I just imported my subs and follow them a bit. Never had to deal with the shitty youtube website once. Also, ReVanced still uses the proprietary YouTube apk and I prefer free software on my phone
My main problem is that freetube perfectly remembers video position, without fail.
YouTube always fails
How does Revanced even work.
I mean, newpipe is just download install and it works.
Anyone have a tutorial?
(Also how would Revanced bypass age restricted if you need to sign in before youtube even sends the video over to you? Does Revanced use burner accounts like Aurora store?)
I had this happen recently with Freetube and the, very strangely, age restricted new trailer for a Darktide update. Hope the big brains figure out a work around. Even invidious fallback wouldn’t play it.
