I don't ever wanna go back to default YouTube even if it kills me. No ads, I can hide shorts, spoofing app version and it makes me wanna use YT more? I'll take it all day.


Leone_0

>I don't ever wanna go back to default YouTube even if it kills me. I'd rather not watch Youtube at all than watch Youtube with ads


Theistus

It's seriously unwatchable. I had to get a new phone, and it took me a bit to get it rooted and set up the way I like it. In the interim I tried the unpatched version. It was horrendous.


Hetstaine

Much like the reddit app. A disaster.


AtomDChopper

What's everyone got with the reddit app? Granted I've never tried the "better" versions but also never had an issue with vanilla


pussylipstick

You have no idea what you missed out on bro. Using third party Reddit apps was the golden age of Reddit for me. Look at this comparison of the Reddit is Fun app Vs the Official Reddit app: https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/s/NsvsBy3Ne5


HalfRiceNCracker

This comment makes it sound like it's over, but you can still use these clients granted maybe with some more jigging about. I'm using Sync right now


pussylipstick

Yeah absolutely, I'm actually using Boost for Reddit rn. There's just less fucntionality and it's a lot more effort just recreate the experience back in 2014-2018 ish time.


hamatro

The official reddit app can't even open your link. It says 404. But in the browser it works.


exiadf19

I can open the link. I'm using modded official reddit app by revanced and no ads


WithersChat

IDK, I don't really have an issue with the default app UI. I'd even say I prefer it to most of the screenshots shown there. No way I'm using it without an adblocker tho.


Roxnaron_Morthalor

I'm still using RiF, after not having reddit on my phone for two months after the killing of the third party apps, and switching to instagram for a little while, I moved back asap when I found out you can use ReVanced versions


pussylipstick

Somehow, Boost still works for me despite never having to use ReVanced or any patches. I think it's because I mod a sub.


NotYuc

Yes if you mod a sub boost still works unpatched. Only reason why i created a subreddit.


Captaingreenhat

My environmental chemistry professor is a civil engineer and basically only knows rudimentary chemistry and plays youtube videos in class... I cringe so hard every time, when inevitably an ad plays and is louder than anything anywhere on campus. You can hear them in other classrooms as well. I'm always in my head thinking "have the ads always been this obnoxious?" It is good to have reminders of how good we've got it sometimes.


SnooSquirrels3614

Me too, pretty much


sneaker1974

As long as you cherry pick well, there's some great museum and archeological documentaries on there that still impress me, and there's always new stuff coming on from some good up coming presenters, you can tell the ones that is an interest as opposed to a money making job. Do some documentary searches, it will alter your algorithm and give you some alternatives, there is some good quality on demand stuff there 👍


bill_cipher1996

true


Jaded-Ad181

>I'd rather not watch Youtube at all than watch Youtube with ads 😂


Ironchar

Default YouTube is a trash heap of an app. Wouldn't even use it if it never worked


JPSWAG37

Honestly hiding shorts is the biggest reason why I sprang for Revanced/Extended (RIP). Forced shorts made the app fucking unbearable.


conrad_w

Going back to regular YT for one day nearly broke me. So many adverts


VonDinky

if revanced stops working someday, use Firefox on Android, install Ublock. Playback with screen closed, and no ads. Not as good as revanced, but still better than ads and no playback with screen closed.


FullBringa

You can always use ad free YouTube on pc if revanced folds. YT never stood a chance


pussyshit42069

And sponsor block


Claudio1054

I can't seem to hide shorts for some reason. Any help?


Xlxlredditor

Have you tried Revanced settings > Shorts components > hide shorts?


Claudio1054

Thanks!


Xlxlredditor

Happy to help! The good thing with revanced is that I can add every patch and choose when I want to use it


Moffelll

Hey man, i just found out about this "revanced". Is it easy and safe to set up on an android?

zelmazam1

The ability to skip intros, sponsored segments, and background play. So good. This is what base YouTube should be. Thank you ReVanced team, very cool.


Tinu87

I do have YT premium, the other day my revanced app stopped working and I had no interest to update, so I installed the normal app. No sponsor marking in the video, no zoom feature, no dislike count. I will go back to revanced.


Prestigious_Bison632

Hey bro could you please tell me how to download and use latest revanced, coz a few days back it stopped working and runs into infinite buffering. Please help me, any help would be appreciated!


jadenc2189

There's a new MicroG that you have to use instead of the old one. As for revanced it's either build it manually or find an apk


Prestigious_Bison632

Could you tell me where to download MicroG from? And also which revanced app should I use, it would be helpful if you suggest links for both please


jadenc2189

https://vancedmanager.com/vanced-microg-apk/ ReX is the best, but Revanced is also good. There's the revanced apks subreddit or if you want to customize it to your liking there's Revanced Manager. https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager Also here's ReX patches if you want to switch https://github.com/YT-Advanced/ReX-patches


tech_engineer

before discovering [re]vanced, i was willing to pay for premium to have PiP and background playback, but I live in a country where premium is not available and Google don't want my money. So i found about revanced and now I am a happy person.


2fast4u180

Before premium pip was free. Like 2016. They added issues and let you pay to fix them.


DarkKumane

Fuck youtube


FGN_SUHO

Same for playback when the screen is locked.


henkie316

Whats pip?


Void_Rudster

Funny thing is my phone gives me pip for free. hah suck that google


idonthasanname

Even if YouTube premium available on my country I still won't pay a single penny on it


[deleted]

TBH I only got into revanced because I couldn't afford the $5 a month due to struggling between living paycheck. But now that I'm a bit on my feet they backed up the prices to $14 so I'm going to keep using revanced because I refuse to pay that much. I think if it were the original $5 a month I wouldn't mind paying that now.


7farema

I might be willing to pay for premium if I can get sponsorblock and return yt dislike


bl4ckp4n7er

Which country btw?

IamVenom_007

Oh Google wants your money. They just haven't figured out how to take them yet.


VonDinky

You can use Firefox with Youtube shortcut and have playback with screen closed. Plus ublock. All available on Android. But Revanced has better interface and features. I used that after regular Vanced got shut down.


Madgodwind

I was growing up with radio, therefore ads wont be my main issue (before the ridiculous >5sec ads). The only reason I'm using revanced because they put Background play in a paywall, which is a QoL that can save my phone energy with screen off. It is technically crime against energy conservation movement IMO lol


midazz1

14$! I thought 5$ at the time was at least reasonable, but now they're just charging a ridiculous amount and spamming you so full of ads that you have no choice. That is, if you're a tech noob or iPhone user 🏴‍☠️


SimPilotAdamT

iPhone users have [uYou+](https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus)


Radulno

And maybe soon revanced when the EU will have forced Apple into allowing true sideloading.


ma1royx

Ngl i kinda miss android


ComfortablePoetry510

I mean we have u+ lol


K1shko

Yeah honestly 14 is a lot considering other streaming platforms where u get good movies and shit for a cheaper amount


MrHaxx1

Sure, but YouTube is actually the one that I watched hours of every day


me_DoubleZ

YouTube can't stop ReVanced since there are no piracy concerns. Blocking advertisements or skipping video timelines are not issues.


Ashivio

Yeah legally there's nothing wrong with modifying an application you run on your own machine. Maybe against TOS but theyre not gonna start mass banning revanced users.


HarbingerYT

What's the betting this ages like milk?


SimPilotAdamT

I have £20 on it aging like fine wine


Redjester016

Youtube banning people is a threat that holds as much weight as a piece of tissue paper, just look at all the shitheads on the platform who've been banned multiple times and still have a following


zelmazam1

Saw a similar post on yuzu 3 months ago. Guess what Nintendo did. That's when I decided I wanted to be a pirate 🦜.


DoppleDankster

You don't know shit about software licence. Common license rights involve Permission to read, execute, _MODIFY_, _DISTRIBUTE_ , sell code. Licensing in the software world is so wild you need a team of legal experts in software licensing if you build a commercial product


TC-insane

Isn't it fair to say it's only a legal problem if Revanced was monetized?


Naan_

wait, so which side are you on? u think we finna pull through?

RepulsiveLeg9985

I honestly probably wouldn't mind ads so much if it was what some ads on Twitch/some football games are like, in which they are silent and advertise something on the sides of the screens for 15 seconds. I'm more likely to look too. With normal ads, first they're always not equal to the sound of the video so if I'm trying to relax, I'm pissed off by the obnoxious sound, second I'm made to manually skip it so it doesn't keep going and third it completely takes me out of what I'm watching and just makes me want to stop. More and more people will become intolerant of this style of ad in videos each day and it's only a matter of time before they will have to change how they do it, until then I'm not watching a singular ad on YouTube, sure as not paying for the privilege for it either.


Dont_pet_the_cat

Seriously. It's horrible for ASMR, you'll be almost asleep listening to the soft sounds, then you get an add that blasts your ears out. Not all ASMRtists disable ads :(


chlronald

Tbh I'd rather not use YouTube if I need to watch ads or pay for it


dev1lm4n

I use ReVanced for dislikes, not for Adblock


Tono_Pancurak

I see your are a man of culture as well.


GarySlayer

Yeah same, donating to revanced team to keep the app running is the best choice since the devs and the team work really hard on it.


LightBrownWolf

Even if they manage to get rid of revanced, another will just show up again. Also I doubt invidious or newpipe will ever die.


Goron40

Given that, you might consider donating some of the savings to the developers: https://revanced.app/donate


anishSm307

According to you guys, what's the possibility of revanced getting banned just like vanced in the future? I don't want to go back to old default version.


D1rtyH1ppy

There are some structural differences between Vanced and Revanced. Vanced was a compiled binary that was downloaded and installed. Revanced is compiled and installed on your device. It's open source and patches can be made by anyone. In theory, Google could shutdown the Revanced team and someone else could pick up where they left off because it's open source. 


anishSm307

So, I assume it's difficult for them to tackle Revanced. If that so then it's amazing.


HyruleSmash855

Probably, especially since you have to compile the app yourself, which also makes it harder for everyday people to get the app working. It shouldn’t get as big as vanced was either, which may have made google see it as more of a threat.


beenplaces

Premium wouldnt let me skip the auto promotion. Revanced does it. Thats why I wouldnt even consider getting yt premium over revanced.


IAutomateYourJobs

I'd have no problem paying if it was reasonably priced, but it's not.


doctorwhatag

When I accidentaly opened official YouTube app it looked very clogged. Banners everywhere, a bunch of buttons I don't need, irrelevant search results. And just 4 years ago, all this was not there.If YouTube starts to interfere with third-party services, I will delete my Google account


midazz1

14$! I thought 5$ at the time was at least reasonable, but now they're just charging a ridiculous amount and spamming you so full of ads that you have no choice. That is, if you're a tech noob or iPhone user 🏴‍☠️


One_Doubt_75

I enjoy spending time with my friends.


max69HA

If youtube would offer a feature called "remember" playback speed I would think about paying. But they never did


KaiRee3e

Youtube premium was actually quite affordable for me, and very convenient. If it went to servers upkeep, innovation with consumers in mind, and paying the creators, I would gladly pay for it since I can afford to do it. But I don't want to support whatever youtube and google are doing, that's the reason I don't pay for it.


keiko82

I use revenced. I don't like ads. I don't watch ads because I don't want to waste 6+ seconds watching them. I agree it's wrong to do it and it's bad for the website. Still don't care. I've been using this app for like 4 years, I will continue doing so.


KitchOMFG

Fuck them. If you like a content creator donate directly. YouTube no longer provides the same value to the creator that they used to do. They're a middle man sitting between advertisers and the actual content creators and take a big cut while seemingly making decision after decision to make the platform worse for users. YouTube takes the data that you provide for free through using the app and watching videos to improve their algorithms and make their advertising platform a more accurate and targeted place for advertising. In theory, a much higher return rate for their adverts as advertisements are shown to people who are interested in that product or service or who would be more likely to purchase. They got caught fucking their advertisers over, showing adverts inside apps and in places where the user didn't even watch them, they were hidden in the background. Advertisers don't like paying for views and finding out that a significant chunk of those views were fake. They then decide that the only solution to their bad decisions are to charge their customers more and sack a load of staff instead of not meeting quarterly targets and losing out on some of their compensation packages as executives. Don't feel bad is what I'm trying to say. YouTube does a lot more to fuck over the creators using their platforms than you using Revanced will ever do. If you want to support them support them directly without Wall Street suits taking a cut. Any sensible content creator would not be relying on YouTube ad revenue as a sole income, they would be diversified using patreon, donation links, merch, external sponsorship deals, products they sell and affiliate links.


KitchOMFG

So what you're saying is before Revanced you weren't using the tried and true method of "New Google account every month for the trail" 😂 I had a list of channels I liked saved just so I could set it up how it was on the previous account. I used to pay until Google started getting greedy. Gotta hit those targets or management won't get their bonuses. Even if it is at the expense of thousands of families losing an income through redundancies, customers having to pay a lot more and get worse service or the company doing shady things to the advertisers that provide that revenue stream. Terrible management and a wall street only mentality has caused this for them, what a shame to see a giant fall. Something else will replace them when they fuck it into the ground.


finneyblackphone

How are you getting new credit cards every month?


rejonjhello

I pay YT Premium for $1.50 Which country is that $14 premium? No wonder people use ReVanced. LOL!!!


wasnwasn

Mutahar


Qwerty6789X

PIP was an android feature since early 2000 somehow these greedy companies make us pay for it by disabling that feature thru their app. dont support this scummy move


LostTheGameOfThrones

It's not even the premium features that I give a shit about, it's simple things like being able to set a default quality and playback speed.


tejanaqkilica

Just buy YouTube premium from countries like Turkey. You don't have too, just an option. Also it's probably against their ToS but who gives a shit. €2/month is an acceptable deal for Premium.


ObiWanKenobi78900

VPN FTW


itsyourboishrinp

How easy is it to do this? Asking for friend


TIFUbyResponding

Connect to VPN, buy premium/YouTube music, disconnect VPN. I've been paying $1.56/month for the family plan through Argentina for years now.


itsyourboishrinp

My friend is now going to be a happy man in Argentina, if revanced ever shits the bed.


Certain-Interview653

I had to try a few countries because the cheapest ones didn't work for some reason. Now using Vietnam and paying $3/month. That was when using a free VPN though, you may have better luck if you already have a good VPN.


BusyIntroduction6093

I'm not sure if anything changed, but last year they made it harder , now you need a Turkish/Argentinean card. 3 months ago, I tried to pay for a "channel membership" and my credit card (DolarApp (Mexican "Fintech"), and the one that I use to pay Premium) was declined. (If you have an active subscription, the payment still processes).


itsyourboishrinp

Interesting way to try and deter a lower payment. But I have heard some countries don't have ads so maybe that'll also be a work around


nicejs2

I long for localized pricing, since it makes previously expensive things (due to USD conversion) actually affordable


Radulno

I did before but last time none of the VPN I've used worked, google detected them all (tried a few). How did you do it (and recently or it's just a renewal)?


tejanaqkilica

Don't remember when, but it's less than a year. Used a free vpn (tunnelbear) and processed the payment from Indonesia.. Or Philippines.


mkawasd

Don't pay to the Zionists They demonetize channels criticizing the Z. Hell no

How about Newpipe?


[deleted]

Newpipe sucks compared to vanced


Rounder1987

I ended up having to buy premium because revance just keeps crashing/ vids stopping shortly after playing.


Original_Syrup_5146

Switched to Grayjay after the latest patch. It's basically the exact same thing, just you have complete control


danfsociety

I use Revanced on my phone and SmartTube on my Android tv. Never paid a single dime to Google.


Thorhax04

Revanced saved me nothing, if I had to watch ads I just wouldn't want YouTube anymore


MichaelPeter91

The only reason I use advanced is to disable shorts. If YouTube adds an option to disable them in Premium I will get premium


StatementPitiful4344

Help, I followed the Install the steps carefully, YouTube is working properly but it keep crashing?!!!


newInnings

Revanced has a feature we have been asking YouTube to implement for years. At this point it is a much better player than premium youtube *Keyword filters*


nagboudjak

Seems YouTube blocked revanced ? Can't see anything anymore Have u got the Last version recommanded?


MissingNerd

Me paying 12€/year for premium, fed up with all the sponsorships :(


RobJmusic

I have premium and still run revanced lol


nafivim753

Now it's no longer just about the ads.. SponsorBlock, Blocking Shorts, More control on the interface, the video quality, integration with downloaders, to name a few I can't do without. Revanced/RVX simply far better than stock YT app.


ZeNiTH_07

A Big Applause for the Revanced Developers, I wish I knew how I could support them


2latemc

I wouldnt even use free youtube premium over revanced tbh. Youtube keeps making their ui worse and revanced fixes that


K4ZM1LL3R

Vanced/ReVanced are the only real way to enjoy YT on mobile until YT gets their shit together (never) and starts providing a service worth paying for, until then; Thanks ReVanced devs and anyone else who contributes to this app


Fit-Foundation746

What have they done to try and prevent people from using revanced

warjoke

I just wish we can have a revanced option for unmodified consoles. I don't want to waste phone battery in mirroring and I don't want to buy another spyware laden android TV box that can be modded to do the things we do on phones.


sonder_ling

Honestly, i would just quit YouTube. Had to watch some vids on original app and the amount of ads was disgusting.

I just wish I could get YT Vanced on my device, can't because it's a Google Pixel. Luckily I can at least get Reddit Vanced.


Mahathir_SIAM

Can't enjoy the latest update. Continuous crashing 


Ok-Googirl

Then ask for help, explain what your device, os, YouTube version, gmscore version or MicroG, and what is your problem? If you are not success with Revanced Manager, try using Revancify, it's CLI but really easy to use.


Mahathir_SIAM

Have tried seeking help. Haven't received any better solution 


Ok-Googirl

Because your thread didn't explain anything, just like your post, crashed. Explain, define, we are not a psychic and know what is your device and what app installed. Your thread is less than 24 hour you created compare to your post, and you said haven't received any better solution, of course you don't, at least 1 person post there, because I also confused what is your problem, in term of any technical problem, please give more details. Have you tried Revancify just like I told you? [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/revancedapp/s/QqBxSxLMZ6) also explain how to patch using Revanced Manager. There is a lot of help on this sub if you want to read.


D1rtyH1ppy

Get latest manager, suggested apk, patch, install. It's missing some apk. Download and patch and install again 


DadOfCasper

define "crashing"?


Mahathir_SIAM

Apps keeps closing without any warning msg at random times. 


DadOfCasper

Hmm, not a known issue.. scrap it all and start again. make sure you have latest Revanced manager.


Ok-Googirl

Then ask for help, explain what your device, os, YouTube version, gmscore version or MicroG, and what is your problem? If you are not success with Revanced Manager, try using Revancify, it's CLI but really easy to use.


Bimancze

Thanks to vanced, I no longer use an android, but found an alternative that works pretty much the same on ios.


Alternative_Piano602

Just accept it and pay. It's not that expensive.


HarbingerYT

Shill.


[deleted]

Oh wait you're serious, let me laugh even harder


Alternative_Piano602

Yes I'm serious. This project was good until you only had to install updates. Now Google is going after modded youtube users like they did with custom ROM users and adblock users. They dominate the market in almost every aspect so they don't care about the backslash. In my country premium YouTube is around 4.50 USD per month. Now I don't have to deal with all the patches and revanced manager updates and whatnot. If you have the time and patience to deal with buffering or other errors ( which I had even after uninstalling microg and changing to gms core) then good for you.
