No, I find it ridiculous that you are recommending that others use such a woefully bloated method simply because you remember it taking 5 minutes and have used it for years.

I don't intend to change your mind, I intend to imply to others reading that this is a silly and bloated way to do it that most people shouldn't follow unless they actually require Bluestacks for something, such as app testing or to use an Android app that contains specific functionality not available on PC.

Also, I remember when NewPipe was ass, so it also took that dev a "really long time" to come up with a functional app. Not really sure what your point is other than to attempt to delegitimize a solution that is better than yours. :b

You know what's more convenient?

Lol. You are ridiculous.

I've never had that issue with Piped or Invidious, though sometimes I've had a specific instance not load. There are literal dozens of instances though.

However, I've had numerous issues with Bluestacks and it's a huge memory hog, not to mention it's overkill to install an entire OS just for 1 singular purpose that can be done just fine on your native OS.

It's a layer of abstraction that's almost entirely unnecessary except for 1 use case: watching YouTube without ads.

Why should I use an Android emulator to run an app on PC instead of the many browser front ends for YouTube?

I'm not really interested in creating a detailed write-up/tutorial. But generally speaking, the client doesn't matter. I'd go with Revolution but if Goguma works for you, use that.

The main thing that you'll need to choose is what server you want to join - you can search online for what IRC servers and channels are good for pirated content. FMHY has resources on this too.

Ultimately, learning how to find these answers on your own will make things go smoother for you. It has literally never been easier to teach yourself how to do something than right now. Good luck.

IRC works almost the exact same way, there are bots that you can use to request content. It seems like you're asking for suggestions only to shoot them down without even knowing what the suggestion is.

Torrenting also works really well as long as you have your client set up correctly - there are many, many YouTube videos about how to set up qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, etc.

This post should be step 1 for you, no one is going to give you instructions because you didn't ask for them.
