What frustrates me is that the user experience with YouTube premium is still worse than with NewPipe.
I have YouTube Premium and I still have NewPipe installed because I don't always want the one-off videos I watch to affect my suggestions.
Also NewPipe has the ability to group the channels I watch.
The YouTube app defaults to auto-play on, and even after turning it off, sometimes it'll turn back on.
- fsmv 3y agoI just delete things from watch history if I don't want it recommended. I haven't had auto play turned on for a very long time.
- ydant 3y agoI wish you could turn off auto-play when watching a video from a playlist. The general auto-play option doesn't have any impact on playlists.
- justin_oaks 3y agoI know I can do that, but I'd rather not have to bother. It's actually easier to open a video in a separate app. In the YouTube app on my phone I can tap the Share button and then send it to the NewPipe app. Easy-peasy. To delete things from my watch history requires me to remember to remove it. If I forget then I have to scroll through my history to find it. Not ideal.
- macic 3y agoThe YouTube app now has incognito mode, which shouldn’t affect your recommendations.
- shade 3y agoIt does, but at least on iOS, turning on incognito mode also turns off the YT premium features that you're paying for.
- justin_oaks 3y agoSame on Android. I was so disappointed when I saw that.
