    Note that using such apps may be illegal as using third-party apps to my knowledge violate YouTube’s Terms of Service. Commented Feb 5 at 14:37

    The practices done by Google themselves ought to be illegal. What you refer to as "illegal" here is "something which google doesn't like". Also, please keep in mind that those apps are FOSS and their source code is freely available. Most people don't use youtube anymore, they all use FOSS clients. I myself have been using Revanced Extended for over an year and my account hasn't been banned. The part where I said Google's software is malware is not an "opinionated statement"; it is a fact. But it still got edited. Reference: gnu.org/proprietary/malware-google.html Commented Feb 5 at 14:48

    Thanks, I will definitely try that. Google's idiotic marketing practices only foster these third-party apps, so they are the only ones to blame—I hold them directly responsible for that. And I’m paying for the premium subscription, which means they have no right to slam the app’s door in my face with the cretinous outdated device argument, but of course they do because nobody cares for anything anymore.

    @Robert And who's to blame—the user or Google? I’m paying for the premium subscription, yet suddenly I have no right to use the app anymore, for no remotely plausible reason. I’ll have to use it with a fake Google account too and stop paying for the premium subscription—once again, no one but Google is to blame for that. Commented Feb 5 at 15:34
  • @andreszs Yes, please don't forget to cancel the subscription. It's all because (most) google software is proprietary, which means they have the right to do anything they want without listening to the user and to profit more at the user's expense. Commented Feb 5 at 16:14
