3·9 months agoI’ve never had that issue with Piped or Invidious, though sometimes I’ve had a specific instance not load. There are literal dozens of instances though.
However, I’ve had numerous issues with Bluestacks and it’s a huge memory hog, not to mention it’s overkill to install an entire OS just for 1 singular purpose that can be done just fine on your native OS.
It’s a layer of abstraction that’s almost entirely unnecessary except for 1 use case: watching YouTube without ads.
Why should I use an Android emulator to run an app on PC instead of the many browser front ends for YouTube?
It would be nice to have F-Droid and other app repos available on the Play Store. Or some other solution that puts alternative app sources on a more level playing field.
I agree with your interpretation, but I really wish publishers would go back to calling additional levels or story content an “expansion” instead of DLC. It’s a lot more clear and differentiates from other types of content like a character costume or a soundtrack.

No, I find it ridiculous that you are recommending that others use such a woefully bloated method simply because you remember it taking 5 minutes and have used it for years.
I don’t intend to change your mind, I intend to imply to others reading that this is a silly and bloated way to do it that most people shouldn’t follow unless they actually require Bluestacks for something, such as app testing or to use an Android app that contains specific functionality not available on PC.
Also, I remember when NewPipe was ass, so it also took that dev a “really long time” to come up with a functional app. Not really sure what your point is other than to attempt to delegitimize a solution that is better than yours. :b
