      It’s not quite the same thing. ViMusic is a dedicated app for streaming music, which means better user experience. You’re free to stick to revanced if it better suits your needs obv

        I’d paste the R*ddit post but…

        So basically you rebuild the YouTube app using revanced manager.

        1. Make sure you nuke YouTube from your phone.
        2. Download YouTube apk from apkmirror (don’t install yet)
        3. Download and install from revanced.app
        4. Patcher -> select the YT apk. Patch as recommended and install
        5. Download, install and login from microG.org (basically an emulator for Google play services)
        6. ???
        7. Realise you can do the same for ad-free R*ddit, twitter, Instagram apps
