What’s the newest way of watching YouTube? (lemmy.world)

As it stands, both Piped and Invidious are dead. Because od that, I almost completely stopped watching youtube but l'd still sometimes like to check what the people I follow posted (I used to do that via Piped). Are there any new ways of following people without actually using Google? I'm aware of the tools that download new videos as they come out but I'm more interested in just "subscribing", kinda like RSS?
Ideally it would be on iOS

Edit: I found it, “Unwatched” on iOS is awesome, thanks to [email protected]

Grayjay by FUTO has been working well for me

Forgot about that one but it’s only on Android (mobile-wise)

Sorry to be the bearer of good news, but you're wrong...

Oh, I wasn't sure what platform you needed. For iOS, yeah I have no idea. For anyone else that comes across this though, Grayjay also has a desktop app now

Grayjay started shitting the bed on me recently (Android via Samsung and Graphene, and on Desktop Linux/Windows) unless I disable vpn.

Even with Agent andDNS whitelisting for the apps.

A bit of a bummer after recently donating.

That's not GrayJay. That's YT. They've started blocking access to users who use a VPN without logging in.

God forbid they don't know everything about you.

Edit: response from FUTO

Seems to be related to UMP streams and we have issue opened for it and it's top priority for us to fix this now. It is however very complex so it takes time to fix it but at least we figured out why it is happening and once it is fixed it should be a smooth experience on Youtube at least for a while until they change something else on their backend...

Aye, that was my suspicion. Really awesome to be stripped of options for privacy so they can suck down that data.

Yt-dlp still works thankfully.
