Also on an unrelated note anyway to remove live from your subscribed channels update field ? Some channels are filling it with live so i have to really scroll down to see my video feeds and can’t find a setting to switch it off. Newpipe didn’t used to add live in your what’s new feed of subscribed channels, related pic .

    • Newpipe doesn’t let you leave comments (which was the reason I personally switched to it – I used to spend too much time commenting like half of the stuff I watched, and I watched a lot) or login with a Google account;
    • newpipe doesn’t have sponsorblock (which is currently solved by using tubular; note that it may or may not become abandoned like previous attempts by other ppl);
    • newpipe lets you download video/audio (although, admittedly, having yt-dlp in termux is still more than handy for bulk downloads);
    • newpipe has better (imo) background playback: you can either play or enqueue both videos and playlists (note: I haven’t used yt app for a while, so mb it also can do similar stuff)
    • newpipe doesn’t need play services whatsoever;
    • newpipe’s ui takes some time to get used to (imo)
