It is working for me right now. I am a youtube and i recently used service called give me boost, simply search GiveMeBoost in google and you will find that website. It helped me get real youtube subscribers for my channel which helped me go viral on youtube. Just wanted to take a moment to give them a shoutout because they are simply awesome!
Depends on how you define working – mine is now incapable of blocking ads in the feed, and it doesn’t save watched history anymore.
You need YouTube Revanced. Vanced is a dead app that no longer works and will never be updated. How are you a journalist? This happened back in April. Way to have your finger on the pulse, lol.
Go to settings>vanced settings>video> turn off button for enable protobuf spoof
Thank you that worked for me ?
why does this work?
They dropped development of the app in 2022, I think that’s a more likely reason why it stopped working ?
It’s being maintained by some people who picked it up after the original developers stopped working on it. I don’t use it anymore, never liked it, it was always a hassle to install it. I prefer NewPipe or LibreTube, but even those have problems all the time.
It’s a constant game of cat and mouse to keep them working – API breaks or Google do something to it, then you have to wait for an update. I mostly prefer iteroni.com and piped.kavin.rocks, but since my Redmi 10C got Android 13 and MIUI 14, for some reason I have a lot of trouble playing in background, and I don’t know if it’s Xiaomi’s ROM or Android 13 that’s the problem.
I don’t think it’s proper to teach people piracy. Google doesn’t go left and right suing people but you really shouldn’t taunt them.
I love this site and I don’t want the thing to bring it down be something easily avoided like this.
And I don’t think it is right for the corporate clowns in charge to rake in hundreds of millions in personal wealth while pretending that they have no choice but to raise prices or they will go out of business. I am certainly not going to enrich any more greedy and obscenely wealthy pricks who have to plaster ads all over everything just so they can buy another yacht, meanwhile all the YouTubers, devs and programmers get screwed beyond belief. If America isn’t going to have a French Revolution style restructuring, you can be damn sure I’ll be doing my part to limit corporate profit and power.
You keep being a cog that keeps this greed machine running, and keep doing it while clothing your complicit foolishness in righteous indignation. I hope it works out for you.
Do you use an ad-blocker?
@Shadow_Death
If you are saying adblockers are piracy…. well, they are NOT, blocking network requests and hiding HTML elements is NOT piracy, it is you blocking or hiding stuff from getting in your computer.
Youtube allows Piracy, and that’s how you can search a song and you can find an official song updated by the Band/Singer, but then you also find 1928398139 videos with it, subtitles, reuploaded, an alternative video, longer version, remix, cover, 24 hours version, for karaoke and etc etc etc, and let’s not talk about movies and all that, where they, uploaders nor Youtube are not paying royalties for it, but then, Youtube/Google is making money out of it by forcing ads and selling people’s information when they watch those videos to advertisers.
I mean, people might complain about piracy and say how it is stealing, like real piracy, like pirating a game or a program, but people are getting robbed by Government and banks every day, and that’s legal, only because it was ‘written in the law’.
Some people don’t care you pirate their assets as long as you are not making commercial work with it, others care because they sell tutorials and people are not paying them, I guess if you pirate and you are harming anyone, you knowing it or not, it is bad, if not, like in the case of Youtube, where Youtube already shows ads, so they should pay all the singers and bands a contract, well, then it shouldn’t be up to the user to think “I am pirating for using an adblocking and remove annoyances”.
LOL No. The main function of Youtube Vanced is adblocking, return youtube dislike, and Sponsorblock. There are other features like downloading youtube videos but there are already 3rd party apps that do that which youtube hasn’t send any kind of letter for.
My point is people who say Youtube Vanced is bad should probably stop using adblockers too.
Piracy is a good thing, you are just too indoctrinated and scared of something you don’t understand.
Google are making a lot of customer-unfriendly moves, especially on mobile phones with YouTube, like preventing background playback with their API. If you load the YouTube website on your phone and switch to desktop layout, background playback magically works again, because it no longer utilizes the mobile API and switches to the desktop one.
Such underhanded tactics are why people invented 3rd party alternative apps. I use INVIDIOUS and Piped to watch YouTube, they also allow me to download videos.
I’ve been pirating games since I had my first computer on age 13. All the kids I knew were pirating games. We were saying “when we grow up and have jobs we will start buying games”, turns out by the time we grew up and had jobs, games turned into customer-unfriendly online-only live service trash with battle passes and lootbox gambling that isn’t even worth pirating, first because it can’t work offline and can’t even be cracked and second, because it’s not even worth playing for free.
So the joke is on you.
