Google has become an awful company. I'm in the process of degoogling but it's not easy given all the monopolies they have created
My one holdover is YouTube. There's just no good replacement for it.
Use them at no benefit to them. Obviously, don't buy yt premium.
I use Grayjay. Get it from the grayjay website and sideload it instead of through the apk store. Updates come quicker. It gives you commercial free YouTube, pretty much all the premium features, and let's you download vids.
My grayjay hasn't worked for a couple of weeks now, "block attempt detected" warning and then the video starts over.
I had a similar issue, but I google searched and found a setting I had to redo or change and it's worked fine since then. Afraid I don't remember what I had done. It was like a month ago and late, but it's been problem free for me.
