   YouTube increasingly feels deranged. I’m trying to watch a video and there’s an ad about every few minutes. I get YouTube is urging people to the paid tier, but honestly this is just starting to wean me off of YouTube entirely. (And the war on blockers means on mobile I can’t turn on something for this video. Nothing I have installed works. Videos now just pinwheel when they hit an ad. If anyone has any advice, I’ll happily receive it. Or I might just download this vid and watch elsewhere.)

     @craiggrannell I recall that you're on iOS? But if you're on Android, NewPipe is working well.

     All iOS versions are frauds, sadly.

     It looks like there's a different/clone iOS app that's trying to pass itself off as the same thing (logo and all) and rake in subscriptions, and there's a .app domain squatting page making claims about an iOS version looks like it might be a malware threat vector, unfortunately.
