I’ve been using Invidious and NewPipe to watch YouTube for a long time. I don’t use an account with either of these. However, I’m wanting to get recommendations based on what I watch and my subscriptions. LibreTube looked promising but it no longer works. When I try to watch videos it won’t play. YouTube Vanced is dead. Not sure if another viable solution exists.
Well that explains why you’re not having problems. Most people are not doing that.

I already said that I tried pretty much all of the public ones. I am not the only one with this problem (including OP) so I think it’s fair to recognize that it’s an issue with the service.
