        YT changes were anti-bot in nature according to the extractor hotfix PR; I guess YT considers NP a bot or something.

          To elaborate, while the errors in the middle of videos were because of general anti-bot measures, the errors at the beginning of videos were caused by a change that specifically targets third-party clients like NewPipe and youtube-dl. This is definitely part of an arms race.

        It’s inevitable that youtube will go the way of twitter and reddit, closing down their API. I’m surprised it’s taking them this long to start the process.

        Definitely is. Newpipe also allows downloads and less than a month ago, they had to release a hotfix because Google broke external viewers, like Newpipe and Invidious. I’ve noticed 2 days ago that Newpipe stopped playing and downloading videos, so I figured it must’ve been Google again

      At least that is on creator to choose, if I am botheres by those sponsored parts I will skip that creator.

      A lot of them I don’t mind, or don’t have sponsors except patreon.

      Most annoying thing with ads is they are loud and obnoxious. I listen to some nice quiet jazz and all of a sudden someone strats screaming for me to try some ice cream. Crazy.

      Than I noticed how android devices don’t have mute button and wonder if this is in some contract.

    I tried to watch a video earlier today and got an error. Checked Github and this fix had been released 11 minutes earlier. Freaking amazing.
