I started using ytp-dl and mpv after receiving those adblock warnings. My life is now 420% better because I stopped reading Youtube comments as a side-effect. Also, mpv is 5 billion times better player than any web browser media player can ever be.
It heavily depends on the content. While on dumb Videos there are dumb comments and on Minecraft Videos there are childish ones on the high quality of entertainment I watch only perfectly balanced comments are shown.
This. I tried to self-host Piped and it was a PITA. I am experienced in self-hosting but setting it up behind a reverse proxy was next to impossible and basically no guides exist.
I did vicious, very easy. Sadly max 720p if you proxy from YouTube and if you proxy from your instance 1080p buffers like mad even on a bidirectional 1gig internet on a gaming PC style server. So back to unlock for me since a lot of my videos watched are 4k
Doing that since 2018 methinks, enjoying the gigachad life and refuse to go back to web browser streaming. Glad to see more people are becoming enlightened.

You sound like Senku from Dr. Stone. I’ve been trying to find an extension that opens videos in any player not just mpv
10 billion percent better
The only thing worse than youtube video comments are youtube short comments. Not even reddit can match that level of unrepentant nazism.
Why do you consider not reading comments an improvement? Just asking because I’m curious.
I prefer to knowingly commit mental suicide, like by coming here.
The comments are the best part
Not these comments! /s
The vast majority of YouTube comments are incredibly dumb. I hope the reason is that it’s mostly kids.

i installed karamel and now my comments are from reddit posts that discuss the video i’m watching. i find that to be really helpful.
What’s that?
an extension.
or you could use a piped instance.
If their self install instructions were worth a shit I might agree with you.
