Have you tried FreeTube?
https://freetubeapp.io/It's open source, you won't give any data to Google, no ads, and is (as far as I know) one of the best solution to access Youtube's content privately.
No, and I appreciate you suggesting that! The curiosity dongle attached to the conjoined bunny rabbit on my forehead hasn't been working for a few years now, and I'm really out of touch with what's going on in the world, on the internet, and even in my living room.
I've not looked at that yet, but the Xeggex people are the same scummy scumbaggios who ran Cryptsy and then ran away with their customers' funds? That's mind-blowingly eye-popping, no joke.
