YouTube has been testing a Pause ads format for over a year now, and it's starting to show up for some users.

    There are better alternatives for Android like NewPipe, Tubular and LibreTube

    For PC, you can use FreeTube

      Obligatory post mentioning that Freetube exists on Android as well. With Syncthing, I sync history, playlists and subscriptions. It’s brilliant.

        I know that it exists, I don’t think it’s a particularly good solution on Android though. There are native apps like the ones I mentioned before.

        Btw syncing an SQLite database with syncthing sounds painful. How often do you have to deal with sync conflicts?

      Now do Android TV! All I want is to be able to allowlist channels for my kids but block everything else. I know an htpc is a better option but I’m lazy.
