Neither newpipe nor libretube work for me anymore for a while now. Is there an alternative?
Edit: when using my vpn it is blocked. Without von it works fine

I’d say that your best bet is FreeTube, which got ported to Android back in 2020. I’ve only been using it for a few weeks, since I only got ahold of an Android device this month, but it has never let me down.
It’s available on the IzzyOnDroid repo, and as an APK, so you can install it with F-Droid or Obtainium (or manually).
That downloads directly from YouTube, and for that the best Android app by far is NewPipe and its forks, like Tubular.
…except NewPipe doesn’t work.
It works great these past few days, and I’ve used it today. It works. You might not use the latest version.
Don’t use F-droid official repos, use the NewPipe f-droid repo or the IzzyOnDroid one.
