I use NewPipe because I was tired of YouTube's dark patterns, and addiction-building related videos/autoplay. In NewPipe those things, as well as the YT comments, can be disabled...

But well, maybe it's my way of justification. I already use an ad blocker on desktop and don't even notice that I don't get YT ads. Please don't ban me, Google!
