    I use NewPipe on mobile. The app has issues from time to time, but I’ll take those over YouTube pr*mium any day.

    Edit: pros:

    1. it lets you download the songs/videos
    2. It doesn’t stop playing music when you switch to other windows.
    3. No fucking ads. Anyone who reads this and doesn’t have anything for mobile: try it.

      Whenever NewPipe or PipePipe has an issue I switch to the other one (exporting and importing data takes 30s). Always worked so far

        Good tip, will have a look. Downloading a fair amount of songs like old times is useful too. And cheaper, regarding internet usage.

      I was ecstatic with NewPipe for months. But now I’m getting an error message saying I must log in to YouTube to protect the community. Just me?

          Afraid not. Exact error message only becomes known by going NewPipe > Play a video > Error (Content Unavailable). At this point NewPipe offers: Report or Open In Browser. When ya opt for the second option, your browser opens that video which then gives Error: "Sign in to confirm you’re not a not. This helps protect our community. " And it’s been this way for me for at least 2 months, no change.
