        lol yeah, I only see cable tv commercials like once or twice a year when I'm with my parents, and holy crap are they weird now. like, at least on their cable it was a very jarring mix of ultra high end productions and very cheap "just make whatever" ones.

          No side loading necessary anymore, you can just download the microg mod and the manager and it works on an unrooted phone. Bonus is that it maintains your subscriptions and lets you log in as an anonymous user. I've had problems with being rate limited with new pipe before, I think Google limits the amount of videos that you can play through their API? Haven't had that issue with Vanced before.

              I always thought side loading was done through the bootloader, I know the older version of Vanced required you to flash it through the bootloader. The newer one is just a standalone apk that doesn't require root.

                  Yeah, the new Vanced manager somehow spoofs the Google signature without root access no idea how that's done lol

      Freetube is good for being able to browse your channels, disable recommendations and still watch videos through a proxy instead of downloading.

      That said youtube-dl is still far more reliable than freetube/invidious and other options
