I was so happy to find this post, and was saddened again to see that I didn't have this button available when I needed it hahahaha
Don't forget Smarttube
PipePipe in case NewPipe can't load the video because it requires sign in
There is no option to sign in on NewPipe. NewPipe works perfectly for me for years now. I even use the Sponsorblock Fork to skip the sponsored segments from the Video Creators
Well, down the list we go...
We're friends?

we’re all friends here
I always somehow miss when it stops working and by the time I go to YouTube again it's already working again.
Blessings to Gorhill
don't forget the list maintainers
Can anyone tell me why my "purge cache" button is missing? I thought i was crazy
It's gone because people were using it irresponsibly.

It was fixed in mere minutes
YouTube Premium is the only media subscription I pay for because it's the only one I consider worth it. I watch an unhealthy amount of YT, listen to tons of music, and even use YT as a kind of cloud storage for thousands of hours of recorded video.
I paid for premium, until they wanted PayPal to share my address with Google.
Sorry for the down votes, you're 100% valid. YouTube Premium benefits me and the content creators I watch. Sure, it's more complicated than that, but everything is, and sometimes you just have to make choices that make your life a little easier.
Doesn't bother me, I know that it's an insanely hot take on Lemmy and reddit. I appreciate the vocal backup though.
I’d probably be paying for YouTube, if it were run by a normal media company instead of the world’s largest spy network and personal data broker. There’s no way in hell I’m giving them my credit card information.
Yeah I don't really care about value when it comes to giving money to the guys who work with the NSA and CIA to find ways to more thoroughly spy on every user 24/7, and turned every search into "You asked for x, here's a dozen pages of what the State Department thinks you should have searched for instead"
Not to mention their genocide profiteering: https://www.mintpressnews.com/project-nimbus-billion-google-amazon-partners-israel/280087/
It’s not even about the money, it’s literally about the credit card information, and the massive amount of data linked to it.
I would pay for a lot more things if I could do it anonymously
Do they not already know who you are and what you purchase anyway? I'm wondering how much of a difference it makes.
Whether they do or not, Google doesn’t know that that person is the same person as the one who is using YouTube.
Fair
Yup.
Family plan is 22$ for ad free yt and music subscription for 5 or 6 people
I get that Google bad an all that, but it's a good deal
Personally, considering I can get it for free, and that Google bad, $22 is a bad deal for me. I'd rather donate $20 to the groups helping us get around it, and spend the other $2 on jawbreakers!
A very hot take on Lemmy.
I used to pay for it, for the same reasons. They stopped taking my money, i don't know why, and I noticed zero change in the quality of the service.
I'm paying for other google services, so I don't know why youtube specifically stopped. Oh well.
