Anyone who primarily uses #YouTube for just listening to music (like I do) should consider trying out an app like @newpipe (NewPipe). I haven't dealt with an ad or interstitial break since I switched, and the mobile app plays sound while my phone is locked without missing a beat. I don't know if it'll be around forever, but I do know I'm never going back to just "www dot youtube dot com" for online videos again.

Edit: Android DL link for those who want to try NewPipe: https://newpipe.net/#download

Thanks, i tried it, but it's just a frontend for youtube. I need a replacement for youtube (the site), because its shit

@lurch Yes, it's a YouTube front-end. It suits my purposes because I can listen to my old playlists of game music, etc. (stuff not typically available on streaming music platforms) without having to plow through a thousand ads every hour, but it's not a competing service to YouTube, per se.

If you want to completely get away from YouTube, I don't have any personal experience yet, but I've heard nice things about the federated video tool, @peertube ! (NewPipe will also integrate with PeerTube.)

Hi there! Your text contains links to other Lemmy communities, here are correct links for Lemmy users: !peertube@lemmy.ml

You linked a community again.

Following that link, I find another link to a software for self-hosting videos.

What I need is a site. You know, like dailymotion.com. Maybe I'll use that. I miss the old vimeo.
