    didnt you literally use to be able to listen to a video playing in the background via youtube with the phones' screen off? i swear i used to constantly listen to entire albums of music on a shitty android with the screen off and basically not having to deal with the nightmare that is getting the fucking video skipped/paused/whatever while its floating around my backpack. i fucking HATE this trend of INTRODUCING problems to a service just to charge the end user to remove them. BIGGEST fucking scam of all time i fucking hate it

    i didnt mind ads too much before becoming a communist but now seeing as its obviously all pretty much only driven by infinite fucking growth and profit obsessed :brainworms: havers and not for "legitimate" need for profit to sustain a service i literally cant stand seeing them now

      I've found that on FF on Android, if I boot a song up on yt, then switch tabs so that tab is in the background, then lock my screen, I can play the background tab from the audio menu on the lockscreen

      As with everything android, ymmv
