Get fdroid and download newpipe or alternative if you want to keep an app for YouTube without ads.

Alternative web front ends also exist if you are okay with watching videos in a mobile browser. I use an invidious instance, pick one that’s close to you here. Other front ends also exist.

Alternative video platforms such as LBRY also exist and I’ve found a few youtubers I watched on it.

Absolutely take it as an opportunity to reduce your video content consumption. I like the invidious solution because I don’t get notifications and it takes a bit more effort to manually open the link in the web client so I tend not to watch videos I’m only half interested in.

Edit: froid => fdroid

If you are watching any content from the web, it doesn’t matter if you download it or “stream” it. The same data gets sent to your computer either way.

My response to your first comment implied that both downloading and streaming pirated content count as sailing the high seas since both methods mean downloading pirated content.

Some people may not see “streaming” torrents as the correct way to pirate things because you aren’t seeding though.

You download it either way

You think Guess is going to let their flagship London store go over some shoplifting?

Is it not copyright infringement?

Also I don’t believe in either but will happily use both to fuck over rich corpo pigs from commercialising my work without permission or compensation.
