    Freetube is not a website, but a desktop application that massively improves the usability over YouTube’s UX. It doesn’t serve the same purpose as an ad blocker, which also works well for its purpose.

      Ah, okay, thanks for the clarification. I’ve never used it, just seen it mentioned here.

      Regardless, I think it would be easier to use YouTube links instead of Piped links for redirecting links to it. Then again, I don’t have experience with it, only with Android YouTube alternatives like NewPipe and Grayjay.

        Yeah in that case I agree. Tons of people have their preferred YouTube frontend, or application, or way of using YouTube itself, and we can all get YouTube links to automatically redirect to our preferred method, but if someone links their preferred frontend directly, anyone who uses a different method all of a sudden can’t use it automatically.
