I pretty much only use it for music, and most of the extensions have still gotten me by. At least long enough to rip the song to my hard drive for offline use. Fuck $16 a month. That's ridiculous. For $16 I could get an album or two every month and not have to worry about some buffering bullshit. After a year, not only would I be supporting the artists directly and avoiding paying paying a scummy company, I'd actually have some discographies built up to permanently show for it. They're just inadvertently trying to support people sailing the high seas. So irritating..

So why don't you do that... ?
I actually did just buy a lot of albums in the last 48 hours, once I realized that I could bc my tax return lol. Before that I was pretty broke and wishing I could actually buy some. A light bulb finally went off and I was like oh yeah, I got some money now :p I do like to test drive a lot to see if I really vibe with it also. if it's something that actually touches me, I usually wind up wanting to have a higher quality version stored locally.
You can also set up a Jellyfin or Plex server and have your own streaming service :)
I'd like to have some home network type of deal set up, I've been meaning to look into that. Self-hosting comm more. I don't really have Internet right now though, aside from my cell phone, so I'm not sure if that would put a damper on things.
Neotube for music and revanced for videos are atill working the same.
Revanced works for Google Music too.
The library is still free, and probably has access to a lot of streaming. If your local one doesn’t, a lot of large libraries will let you sign up for a card even if you don’t live nearby if you just show up in person to sign up. Although some don’t even require that anymore due to COVID precautions.
How big could the family be?
It's five additional accounts. Doesn't matter their actual relation or location.
Yes it does, if they're not in the same geographical location, they kick the member off.
Not for my account, never had an issue and users are located quite far apart.
Unfortunately my mom all my friends got kicked off for not being in the same household.
My family is bigger than that. Guess I will stick with piracy as it's easier.
The Pirate Bay will always be with us.
I just updated my smart tube app cause they broke the stable version. Beta is working just fine though
Mines got no issues I'm watching it now.
My stable install is many updates behind. So much so that I couldn't update in app. It still wasn't a problem with kutt.to/stn_beta though.
You may have been on the version that was possibly exploited he stopped updates to that one and advised people to manually install the fixed one.
I think he was being paranoid though, he did it because his PC was hacked and there's no evidence anything was actually compromised on Smarttube.
Is there an option for iOS?
Firefox focus browser. Single tab browser but blocks ads. Works for YouTube.
