I heard about YT Revanced because it has no ads. then i saw they had TikTok revanced. It removes ads, lets you block all Tiktok lives(i fucking hate 99% of them) and it lets you set the minimum likes/views a video needs to show up, so i don't get random people who have 1 like on their shitty video.

I think you have to download the APKs from revanced.app but goddamn has it make YT and Tiktok better.

They work on Android.

agony-mescaline

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I used this guide which i think is a little out of date but it still got me there.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

https://revanced.app 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 https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager

JESUS PISSING CHRIST

I saw Youtube Revanced in the title and assumed it had been sued or shut down

sweat

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

I seem to remember the cease and desist coming shortly after the Vanced guys tried launching NFTs or some such nonsense

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

Ah so it was because they tried making money from it? They would have been fine otherwise?

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

I don't think so, but it certainly put an unnecessarily target on their back

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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

[-] glingorfel@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Wait so you're on lemmy but you use tik tok? Why is this?

[-] glingorfel@hexbear.net 23 points 11 months ago

you eat pineapple but you also like broccoli?

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Yes, both are healthy for me. Tik tok isn't too healthy for me.

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

cause im bored and it shows me leftist stuff and comedy.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

We found them. The most Reddit of Redditors

[-] regularassbitch@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

why wouldn't someone want to use tiktok?

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 4 points 11 months ago

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.
