delete the app. Open your browser. Download an ad-blocker. Add the youtube homepage to whatever a phone’s desktop is called. Open a video, minimize the browser, and play audio from your notifications taskbar.

No more ads. No more needing the app to remain open to play audio.

Also you can buy Huawei phones from Newegg. The P50 is shiney if anyone wants to know.

    YouTube has no obligation to not break NewPipe compatibility.

    No but google has an obligation to show more than youtube links in their search results. Especially since almost every google search alternative uses the google search engines infrastructure so that if google erases youtubes competition from their search results they erase them from almost every other search engines results.

      I lost you there. Top level comment said that YouTube breaks NewPipe compatibility frequently to which you asked about a relevant lawsuit. I said there isn’t a lawsuit like that. What do Google search results have to do with that?

        probably nothing, friend. I’m not familiar with NewPipe. Just that there is a lawsuit about competitive malpractice whose major complaint is as I said it above. If it relates to Newpipe or not I couldn’t say because I’m not familiar with it.

        It could relate in so far as people being exposed to the existence of NewPipe in the first place. As far as compatibility issues likely it’s irrelevant.

        My intention of the above post was to clarify the major complaint of the lawsuit

        Edit: So top search result is from a year ago. The recent news regarding it was google losing its appeal to dismiss the suit. This leads to the discovery phase.
