I've heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.

I almost switched to iPhone, thankfully this came out to show me why that is a bad idea. I just need to de-gpogle.

    Wait, why would this one app currently only being available on Android make switching a bad idea? Seems like a weird thing to base a decision that big on…

    It's more about the ability for such apps to exist. Other apps include Tachiyomi (manga reader) and similar apps that are not allowed because of the app stores terms of service.

    Hopefully Apple will soon be forced to allow such apps to exist outside of their store. Freedom to install what I want is a main reason I switched back from an iPhone to a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

    I dunno, I call bullshit on that because Yattee is on the app store: https://github.com/yattee/yattee

    Thanks for the link. I'm surprised it survived Apple's review process as I thought such apps weren't allowed. Now I have a private YouTube altednative to recommend.

    Tachiyomi relies on installing sources as additional apks because otherwise they'd have to update the app daily. This is not allowed on Play/App Store.

    YouTube ReVanced and other patched apps are also great and not obviously not possible on iOS bexlcause of restrictions.

    This one app to use a google service stopped you from moving away from a google operating system? Lol

    If you plan to get a new phone, get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it. By default, it doesn't have any Google spyware services. It also has substantial security improvements compared to normal Android. It's probably the most private and secure mobile operating system that currently exists.
