NewPipe for Sure. Normal YouTube apps is bloated as hell + NewPipe is very nice to listen music

NewPipe has only one problem: the inability to log into your Google account and keep your subscriptions and watch later playlist synced.

“Problem.”*

Those of us who degoogled see this as a pro not a con.

I’d also blame youtube, iirc there is no way to export your playlists to a .csv, which could then be imported to something like newpipe easily. Of course, youtube doesn’t want to let you do that because the only thing keeping people from newpipe is really this “sunken cost” aspect to it.

I want to degoogle, but I also want to keep track of which videos I’ve watched already across devices. Maybe Newpipe and similar apps need a self-hosted server companion app. Or maybe a plugin for existing server software, like I dunno, Jellyfin or Nextcloud or something. Maybe using RSS? I’m just brainstorming here…
