Piped also allows you to subscribe to as many channels as you want without ever logging into a Google account. You can export your subs list from YouTube and import them to Piped seamlessly.

If you've never heard of it, give it a glance at https://piped.video. For more instances, check here.

Completely new to this. I click a video and it says, initial player response not valid. What do I do from there?

sometimes the main instance gets hit with rate limiting. these types of issues happen on invidious too. you can see a list of instances at the link below. if the main one gives issues, you can tap the preferences button in the top right, scroll down and swap instances. or, you can just open one from the list below. this works for me, i usually just hop between piped.video and piped.kavin.rocks.
