You're on Android use NewPipe and it's forks, personally I prefer Tubular and PipePipe.

Periodically YouTube will break, but both of those forks, as well as new pipe prime, update fairly quickly.

GrayJay is interesting... It has different feel and feature set than newpipe, but it's worth using. I will say I get more login errors with GrayJay, but closing the app and reopening it resolves them immediately.

All the piped apps will be in f-droid/droidify, you can download GrayJay directly, or just scan the QR to add the repo to a FOSS repo manager.

You will have the same issue with NewPipe.

I use both of them everyday. I'm using one of them right now.

Haven't had that issue.

They are right. If you have that problem, the reason is that those fuckers at Google block your VPN. It will not help to use an alternative app.

Afaik grayjay has some blocking circumvention.

And personally FreeTube worked from the same IP, when regular youtube wanted me to log in.
