- VladVladikoff 1y agoMy brother sent me a long talk on YouTube and pleaded with me to listen to it. Watching was pointless the video was just talking heads sitting in chairs. However you can’t just play a video and turn off your phone while listening to the audio on headphones. The mobile browser sleeps and the audio stops. So I used yt-dlp to rip the audio and dropped it into my Plex server to listen to with Prologue. It wasn’t even about the ads, I just wanted to do some gardening and listen to something on headphones while I worked, without my phone screen on.

- jaffa2 1y agoon iphone, if you use youtube in the browser in stead of the app (as you should), then you can do background listening if you play the video, lock the phone, unlock the phone, play th video again, lock the phone, unlock the phone, resume play with the media controls, lock the phone.
- exitb 1y agoIt's obviously not about YT the product, but about YT the content library. I don't think there are better alternatives to that content library.
- blacklion 1y agoI'm watching not youtube but video creators. There is no even worse alternative if person you want to watch doesn't publish video on other site. Maybe, for watching "recommended" stream without any subscriptions there are alternatives (which? I cannot name good ones, anyway), but if you watch your subscription you are bound to platform which contain this subscription. And no, content creators are not interchangeable.
- exe34 1y agoany recommendations?
- trilogic 1y agoDailymotion, Vimeo etc. No ads, no bs it feels like freedom again. And if they change others will replace them.
- exe34 1y agoAnd how do you watch content on dailymotion and vimeo when the content creators only post them on YouTube?
- trilogic 1y ago>And how do you watch content on dailymotion and vimeo when the content creators only post them on YouTube? I just don´t watch it. My time is too precious to loose it in ads and nonsense policy.
- exe34 1y agoI agree, I'll stick to YouTube while yt-dlp works, but at some point it won't be worth the effort. but let's not pretend the alternatives are comparable.
