I'm sorry? Many, including me, started using linux & FOSS at ages as young as what you complain you've been being called.

Sorry for the split commenr, I should also mention that Libretube offers sign in with Piped for subscription syncing.

I can't really quantify what makes ui ugly, perhaps some of it is Newpipe's color scheme. However, if I open Newpipe and then the Material You & M3 Libretube app the Libretube app is night & day better

The UI is incredibly ugly. NewPipe works, but I could not live with using that UI.

Downloaded out of curiosity but my Micro-G based ROM isn't supported.

Libretube also runs on Piped but has a really good UI rather than a, to be honest, pretty terrible one

I use that feature. Extremely often.

That's fair enough although I'd argue some desktop environments and Linux distributions are usable very easily. Remember that people like grandma are using "the operating system as a bootloader for the browser" and if they can open Chrome or Firefox they're good.

That being said when writing my response I admittedly had you in mind as the user who simply wanted to save money.

I always try to avoid these because of how they had held users data hostage on their calendar's play store version, glad this happened so there can be a foss fork by more trustable parties. Yay!

The app sadly doesn't appear to be FOSS and thus not on F-Droid, but I did check it out. Streisand effect? Or not apparently it was removed over semantics.

There are ways to run Linux on Chromebooks
