Oh no, how unfortunate. Sadly, we don't have alternative YouTube clients like Invidious or Piped that can be used with LibRedirect to automatically redirect all YouTube links to these alternative front-ends. And unfortunately, you can't use LibreTube or NewPipe on Android, as well as Yattee with this guide on iOS, iPadOS and tvOS or SmartTubeNext on Android TV.

Lemmy actually encourages me to post comments that are hopefully helpful for others. On Reddit I was just lurking, but on Lemmy, I actually participate in discussions.

Yes, that's such a shame. Thank you for making me aware that we have no such alternatives.

I've seen youtube content on piped I know full well to be 4k video be blurred so badly as to be nearly unwatchable- they honestly decided to spend money to make their content worse as a lever to get you to watch ads or to submit to tracking etc

I have no idea what you're talking about. I use Piped daily and I never experienced such issues.
