Or Revanced, or SmartTube or NewPipe etc etc. Fortunately and thanks to some great devs out there, we’re still able to give Google the big middle finger.
I’ve found revanced to stop playing the video after a minute or two unless you frequently update it (which is a manual process)… I no longer listen to lectures while I run errands, because there’s now no convenient way to do it. Ads are out of the question, and finding a video I want to watch only to have it cut out as I get on the road has killed the experience for me
Me, using Piped: what?

I don’t mind tasteful, well paced ads. That said, I use New pipe and Firefox with Ublock Origin because no one seems to remember what those are.
uBlock won’t block the new popups. You can remove them, but it will still pause the video at the moment.
That sucks.

I’m on Android, and open to suggestions
Noob question: do I have to run my own piped server to use it?
You can, but you can also use one of the many public instances like piped.video, piped.yt and many more

Okay. Explain something to me. I’ve tried to use piped, but it’s just so dogshit slow. Unusably so.
What am I doing wrong?
I am not sure… are you using a shared instance or self-hosting? I self-host my own instance and have no issue since my deployment
