I think you are being a touch dramatic, I am perfectly happy with my google free lineageOS setup. Though I agree with what you are saying and the developing world is not really using LOS I still think there is more hope now than then.
- some_account 8y agoI run the same thing and have zero complaints. The only app I've found that actually requires Google services to start is YouTube. A lot of other apps pops up a dialog saying they need Google services but then work perfectly without it. I'm not a android Dev but it's almost like that behavior is default even if the developer doesn't use any of Google services?

Could the Hooktube Redirector work on mobile too? https://hooktube.com/ https://hooktube.com/ On the PC I use that FF extension which sends any Youtube request to Hooktube and works like a charm.
- iliis 8y agoDid you try NewPipe? It works without the Google services and offers a few nifty features like background-play. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/ https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/
