I agree. I went this route. Also, when I download the video it actually downloads. Vanced prompts for you to login and you’re back to square one.
For the people leaving behind their YouTube accounts. One thing I struggled with was my playlists of videos. I’m a nutrition nerd and reference old videos regularly. Make the playlist shareable via a link. Paste it to a txt file on your android phone. Using an app “Untrack me” from F-droid(where NewPipe is downloaded as well) click the link from the txt file and it opens in newpipe where you can bookmark the playlist.
*** the untrack me lite app Redirects “big brother” apps to open to variants that don’t track you. It works for twitter YouTube and I think the zuck apps as well
is it the best version? or are there better apps?
NewPipe also works, if you don't care about logging into your Google Account I would say go with that instead.
