Been using NewPipe lately and went back to YouTube for the first time in a while.
I can't believe how crowded and awful the video lists have gotten. It's filled with YouTube tips, ads within lists, shorts, suggestions for games, and absolutely garbage video suggestions.
NewPipe is an open source YouTube client for Android. I personally prefer LibreTube but either one is a lot better than using the official YouTube app.
I use NewPipe, it's a nice alternative but then I'm not a heavy YouTube user. How are they able to make it? I'm surprised YouTube would allow an app like this to exist.
