YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google’s Veo 3

If only NewPipe worked...
I've been using reVanced lately. It is a YouTube patcher, not a standalone application, but it's good enough for me

Sometimes I'll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching
This was me once a month but now it's a few times a day.

The "Unhook" addon (increasingly required for Youtube now, in my opinion) will still completely block this as it blocks all shorts. Fuck shorts anyway. Also as TechnologyConnections pointed out in a recent video, the subscription feed still and always has completely bypasses Youtube's recommended brainrot anyway and allows you to subscribe to and follow the creators and topics you actually care about. Until we have a viable alternative to Youtube (and hopefully stuff like this will drive that to happen sooner rather than later) the other option is to stick to subscriptions as much as possible and only subscribe to creators that don't abuse this or use shorts at all, preferably.
It absolutely blew my mind when TechnologyConnections shared the % of users who use the subscription page to get to their videos...

You already clicked. It doesn't matter anymore.

Art is people making stuff, without the people... it's just stuff.
Can still be very pretty though. I use it to set scenes and show characters for my dungeons and dragons campaign.

https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/That seems like a good solution for some people, but personally I would like to keep Google Play off my device unless I'm actually forced yo install it.

Every video fails to play, the only solution I've been recommended SK far is to disable my VPN but I don't want to for privacy reasons.

Oh, that's cause YouTube is blocking a lot of unsigned requests (from non-logged users). I have my own VPN on a popular VM provider and it's blocked too.
Not really a newpipe fault, and not much to be done unfortunately.

Nope. "Content unavailable" no matter what I do.

I hope they will atop doing that eventually...

I don't think it's required actually, you just download the APK, patch it and then install it. I haven't degoogled (yet) but there should be a patch that makes it independent from Google Play Services

The vast majority of people stick with defaults, no matter how shitty they are.

I started using PipePipe, which is a fork of NewPipe that allows for signing into a Google account to authenticate.
I create dummy Google accounts using an old Android phone, as that doesn't require a phone number.

IIRC Revanced uses its own microG fork.
The original YouTube app that it's pafching is obviously still proprietary, but all patches and the patcher are open source.

That sucks.
A thing you can do is change the endnode of your VPN. Some smaller countries are not blocked but your connection will be slower.
For a while a hammered the reconnect button until it worked but at this point I just went with split tunneling.
I think freetube let's you configure proxys. Maybe that could be another way to attack the problem

Watch time is pretty important on YouTube afaik, initial clocks themselves don't count for that much
