I switched to this YouTube client and I’m never going back

YouTube has been a part of my life since its early days in the late 00s. It’s no secret that today’s YouTube is a far cry from what it used to be. YouTube was free back then; free from subscriptions, free from ads, even free from terrible video suggestions. It was raw and real. Now when we open the app we’re bombarded with pop-ups and ads and the algorithm is awful at surfacing stuff we want to watch.
So like many of you, I went searching for a replacement. I was looking for something calmer and more focused. There really is no replacement for YouTube, but there is a great client that harks back to the YouTube of old. It’s called NewPipe, and it has become my go-to way to watch YouTube.
