Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Vinny’s “PERUSE MY BIO” segment
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I’ve tried a bunch of Piped links over the last week, none seem to work for me. Are they working for anyone?
They have never worked for me, not even once.
They worked for me some weeks ago.
I just tried this one. Spun for a full minute and I gave up. I would say 80% of alternative frontends for popular services haven’t worked for me traditionally, yet people swear by them. It’s really puzzling to me. Like you and I can’t be the only person for whom services like these don’t work.
I’ve never had one work and no longer even try.
Doesn’t work for me either. I usually just copy the YouTube url into newpipe on my phone if I really want to watch it. I do wish I could have it do that automatically
You can have links open in NewPipe by setting it in Android’s settings:
Settings -> Apps -> All apps -> NewPipe -> Open by default
And then set things up in there
Awesome ty
