If you use Freetube, you haven’t failed to notice that Google is on the war path again and broke it a few days ago. See this bug report.
Please note that it’s been fixed in this PR. If you download the nightly build #5652, it now works like a champ.
Thanks team Freetube!

Because alternative clients offer features that only the for-pay official client offers, like subscriptions and playlists, and Google can’t collect data on what people subscribe to or their playlists because in alternative clients, they’re stored locally.
Google doesn’t hate third-party clients because they skip ads: it hates them because they impede surveillance and privacy invasion, which is the true bread and butter of Google.
Fair point actually. I didn’t think of that.
