Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels
https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube Is great for chromecasts and other google tv boxes. Basically newpipe, but in a tv format.

YouTube is returning 403 to NewPipe and other 3rd party players
They're apparently going hard this time, no known way to play anything anymore.
Playing on the website without an account still works.

Show HN: An open source extension to block large media brands from Google search
The Brave browser and/or SmartTube seem to work for me. Now we just need a smooth way to transition from when clicking on a youtube link - to have an option to open one of those two (for desktop and mobile). Does anyone have any better options?

YouTube to start blocking third-party apps that don't show ads
Can't recommend SmartTube enough: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube
Includes crowdsourced sponsor block as well. The day YouTube goes the Twitch route and starts embedding ads is the day I stop using it. Literally unwatchable at this point without adblocking.

LTT video on de-Googling removed for "violating community guidelines"
In your comment you said "the first video taken down from LTT", which is not true.
Yes, this might be the first video removed for _one specific reason_. This also might be the first video where he broke external links policy[1]
> Links to websites, apps, or other sources that give unauthorized access to audio content, audiovisual content, video games, software, or streaming services that normally require payment
as he left a sequence of links to "alternative YouTube UI"[2]

Google has been blocking Invidious with error "This helps protect our community"
I had interpreted the news as affecting all users of the other tools. Found https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11139 with very few comments so I don't get the impression it's affecting NewPipe specifically as yet.
- YouTube is A/B testing limiting logged out access to videos

Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Just use NewPipe. It's just a better Youtube client even if it had ads.
