I have every *arr in existence, I don’t pay for anything. But I have YT Premium Family. I still use ReVanced for sponsor block and other customization preferences, but I have it for my family so they can be bullshit free on every device.
It is the best Discord alternative, and it can be self hosted. But there’s no interconnectivity between instances. So not really a fediverse alternative
Got an 8BitDo controller off Amazon, you can get a little clip for it that holds your phone. Best $20 ever. Kinda heavy to be gaming on the go but in bed it’s great
You can get ReVanced which is a modification of the original YouTube app. It has pretty much everything except DeArrow.

You’ll need a YouTube APK file and it will patch the app directly on your phone, it will also let you select what “patches” you want. So you can customize your YT experience, but it works exactly like the official app in every other way.
