Does your mom know you go on 4chan?

the official youtube app forces ads on you and if you turn off the screen it stops the video, so you cannot use it to listen to music without buttraping your battery. It is in the youtube terms of use, a few 3rd party applications offered off-screen music listening but (((google))) forced them to remove this feature.
Be glad you can alt-tab out of youtube in your desktop browsers.
>>61542830
>open youtube in browser
>start video
>close screen
here's youtube in background without any XDA extension shit

You pay a lot for the phone yet it can't do something a phone for 1/25 the price can do so of course I hate the company behind the overpriced locked down phone
>Does your mom know you go on 4chan?
No she wouldn't understand
>>61542998
>paying for something you can do for free on android
AHAHAHAHAH CU?CK
>>61542998
>>pay for youtube red
>>61543019
You act as if Samsung or LG just allows you to open up your device and do anything to it... Need I remind you that you need to root the phone before you can make such changes?
Most 50 dollar phones have no root and therefore can't be used to bypass YouTube TOS... Either way you're paying for a locked device.
>>61543072
oh come on, most phones can be rooted. Not that i would root a phone to be able to listen to stuff on youtube with my screen off. That's retarded.
I rooted my samsung s3 mini to be able to run photosphere camera apps that wouldn't get installed otherwise, despite the phone having a gyroscope and all
>>61542998
>>pay for youtube red
>>61543105
Yeah anon but that phone wasn't rooted on release, Samsung actively patches shit like that... So you paid for an expensive toy that you can't use... Hm, sounds similar to something else you said
>>61543105
most iphones can be jailbroken too.
>>61543121
i'm not whoever you think you're talking to.
What do you mean with "i can't use"? i brought this phone used, pretty cheap, a year ago, to develop and mess around with VR and photospheres. After rooting, it literally works and feels just like it used to before. It had no new updates anyways, stuck on android 4.1.. so what am i missing exactly here?
>>61543138
im not OP.
>>61543072
