As it stands, both Piped and Invidious are dead.
Because od that, I almost completely stopped watching youtube but l’d still sometimes like to check what the people I follow posted (I used to do that via Piped).
Are there any new ways of following people without actually using Google? I’m aware of the tools that download new videos as they come out but I’m more interested in just “subscribing”, kinda like RSS?
Ideally it would be on iOS
yt-dlp --sponsorblock-remove all <url>is the way. It turns playlist link into nicely named, curated video files awaiting to played by a regular video playerDoes “all” remove every type of segment? Because that seems excessive for most people, there is a lot of filler/etc sections that are over-zealously tagged.
That seems like it would screw the creators more than YouTube.
Possibly, but for how ad laiden YT has become it’s a path I’m willing to take.
