        Invidious is a third party web frontend for YouTube, and NewPipe (or one of its forks like Pipepipe) are third party Android apps for YouTube.

        Also, if I remember right, you can get RSS feeds of channels and keep up with their new videos that way.

        I use Tor Browser to find videos and download to watch with yt-dlp. I used to use Freetube app which was also good.

            I’ve not seen that issue for maybe a year. I use the Parabolic flatpak app which uses yt-dlp under the hood. Sometimes Google has the upper hand for a week or two, but then the app catches up.
