Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I have never successfully run any piped video on any platform. Literally every pipedbot post has been worthless, at best, and usually actively frustrating as I'd actually use an alternative youtube frontend.

Dear pipedbots: blow me. Dear ReVanced: ❤️

I've never had any trouble playing videos with NewPipe + Sponsorblock on Android.

In a desktop browser it's trickier, but Libredirect helps immensely to redirect to a working instance on the occasion that one of them is down/doesn't play the video

I don't rely on any bots. I'd recommend unchecking "show bot accounts." I know some people find a few of them helpful, and I don't want to sound ungrateful to the people who've developed them, but they mostly just clutter up the threads in my experience

does hiding bot accounts hide both comments and posts? I don't mind bot comments, but bot posts are annoying because they can be quite spammy and never have any activity (at least that i've seen). so far, i've just been user-blocking them as i see them...

Yes, it hides all bot activity whatsoever.
