One glance at the GitHub issues reveals just how much of a struggle it is for the NewPipe developers to keep the app functioning, with YouTube constantly targeting every trick they use.
It’s draining so much of their time and energy that there’s barely anything left for working on new features.
The mental exhaustion of the developers is another issue entirely, one that should be obvious to anyone familiar with the demands of maintaining a relatively popular open source project. The fact that it involves YouTube only makes things worse for them.
Ive seen mentioned elsewhere, but recently it looks like they blocked all vpn access. When using newpipe, it all works again for me when i turn off my vpn!
Meanwhile on Newpipe: just another day with no ads.

NewPipe simply does not work for me. Every video fails to play.
The best YouTube experience I’ve achieved so far is still using the official website with a ton of firefox addons.
for me its Grayjay even tho its not foss i had the best experience in any frontend
