I am one of those suckers (:sigh) who paid for Youtube since it bundled Youtube Music with it. However, today I used the latter’s Revanced version and it was so much customizable. Right from removing menu items to the stupid cast button Google has forced on us; it seems a billion dollar company can’t compete with these folks who make their apps so much more serviceable.
I don’t wish to go too much into the official Youtube client which too is tacked with things like Remix button and what not.
I’ve been paying for Prime Video and Netflix and watch them through a HTPC hooked up to my TV with a user agent switcher extension in Firefox to trick the sites into thinking I’m on ChromeOS, so I can get somewhat near 720 or 1080p… Just started sailing the seas, and seeing content in 4K, was jaw dropping. I’ve known the difference, but I just forgot because I will never be served 4K, much less 1080p as long as I’m on Linux.
Also I could see what the fuck was happening in dark scenes like horror movies because it didn’t have Netflix’s shitty data compression showing me large moving grey blocks as the background of a horror movie.
