that is extremely sad, I use Vanced and it's so much better than the original app, not only because of the ad block but also because the vanced specific options adding a lot of great QOL enhancements
edit: apparently some now say the souce code was made public, meaning people can keep it alive without Google being able to do anything really.
the current build will be good for a year or two as well, so I hope some alternative versions will be worked on soon

I'm pretty sure Google will screw it asap changing something in the service, so it probably won't last even weeks.

maybe. we'll see, but if it was that easy they wouldn't have had a need for a C&D and could have just blocked it and other apps like it.
so I bet it isn't as easy as that

YouTube at it's best. RIP
YouTube, but it blocks ads, allows you to minimise the player and keep audio playing, allows playback when the screen is off, shows dislikes, has a true black theme for OLED screens, etc.
Just a better version of the YouTube App all round.

Live from NeoGAF, it's Friday Night!
So basically an additional app of which i could run YT of my smartphone with all the benefits you depicted.
Yeah, it doesn't replace the normal YouTube, just installs a copy of it as "YouTube Vanced" and you can set that up to be the default, etc.

I got Premium. Everyone should get it, it's cheap and makes it great to use.
Vanced still provides features and customisation that normal YouTube has though. The true black theme and dislikes bar being the obvious two right now.

Nah, especially considering their content policies these days, I'd never go out of my way to give them a dollar.

I will rather use those money on disney+ and hulu+. much better, than youtube with no ads. Plus 3rd party can help me download those videos.

For some reason, over the last month I can play audio while locked, before it didn’t work. Brave on ios

Shame, guess I will have to use the browser version instead.
I'd rather pay for AOL again.

I got it too as it just works across everything I log into.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Google already sells all your information, YouTube should be free without ads.

So basically YouTube Premium but without paying? Bro, I know money's tight, etc. but have some decency.

Considering youtube premium costs more per month that most full fledged streaming services...
I think most people would feel better paying it if it was £4.99 a month but Google want £11.99 to essentially remove adds and give you a feature that Google saw thirdparty apps doing for free, and then "borrowed" the idea and say "this is now a premium feature" with off screen playback.
We can't all get the student rates.
