No matter what app I use now for YouTube, I'm having issues with buffering. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Has Google finally found a way to hamper non-Premium users?

I currently only get 360p in NewPipe&Tubular, with increasing throttling after about 1h hour watchtime per day. Using yt-dlp (of GUIs/apps based on it) is my current workaround.

also, IMO this isn't piracy related.

thats becuase of the new sabr codec. newpipe fixed it about a week ago though

That shouldn't affect old uploads though. I and at least one other person have that issue with the current NewPipe 0.28.7

im pretty sure that for me it affected everything, but i dont think we have the same problem. for me i also could only watch videos in 360p and yt-dlp still worked
