Ice cream so good
Yes yes yes
THAT FUCKING BULL SHIT IS ALSO BETTER THAN 90% OF TIKTOK LIVES
the only ones i ever kinda wanted to see what MAYBE a person playing a video game. But now i never have to see an "NPC" again, and i never have to see the lives where someone is just selling shit. make sure you go to revanced.app to download the APK. There is a little bit of setup involved but its very worth it.
I used this guide which i think is a little out of date but it still got me there. https://sodawithoutsparkles.github.io/revanced-troubleshooting-guide/step-by-step/00-preface/
You have to download the YT and TikTok APKS from APK Mirror. Also for TikTok i had to use an older version, but the Revanced app tells you the suggested version.
Yes, a random zero-rizz person playing a video game with 4 people watching is literally 10 times better than almost any other TikTok live video. It's a truly broken system - not infested by but essentially solely composed of - scams, fraud, and fake engagement
is the only official site. That link is likely malware
Also there is no version for iPhone as far as I can see from the
ahhh fuck lol. welp changing some passwords here.
removed externally hosted image
it didnt show an image for me but i assume you meant revanced.app
Yes, sorry. Brain-dead after a long flight.
JESUS PISSING CHRIST
I saw Youtube Revanced in the title and assumed it had been sued or shut down
i wish i had known about it earlier, although i usually watch YT on my computer with ublock anyways so the ads on my phone werent as big of a deal. but with their YT Premium shit they can fuck right off. im so glad i have Android and can do this, fuck iPhone.
From my understanding, Revanced is pretty much safe from lawsuits since they aren't providing hacked APKs and aren't infringing on intellectual property. That was the reason Youtube Vanced was shut down.
I seem to remember the cease and desist coming shortly after the Vanced guys tried launching NFTs or some such nonsense
Ah so it was because they tried making money from it? They would have been fine otherwise?
I don't think so, but it certainly put an unnecessarily target on their back
so i don't get random people who have 1 like on their shitty video
You gotta pull your own weight and do your part for the community come on now
yeah I'll watch those in their entirety even if they're terrible. really if im operating my algorithm correctly it will deliver me sub-1k liked bizarre videos
Wait so you're on lemmy but you use tik tok? Why is this?
you eat pineapple but you also like broccoli?
Yes, both are healthy for me. Tik tok isn't too healthy for me.
cause im bored and it shows me leftist stuff and comedy.
I mean I don't know how you ended up on Lemmy in the first place but there's usually only two groups 1) privacy and 2)reddit protests. The more you interact on the platform, you realize lots of the privacy stuff and might consider leaving tik tok. I would say if you still want to use tik tok in a more private manner, try using it through proxitok.
We found them. The most Reddit of Redditors
why wouldn't someone want to use tiktok?
Limlok hasn't been released yet.
I think you have to download the APKs from revanced.app but goddamn has it make YT and Tiktok better.
Technically you can build your own APK from the sources here if you're particularly paranoid, but I understand most will just download from the website. Just casual reminder to never trust Google when searching for stuff like revanced because their top results are always malware.
