I have an old Samsung Galaxy (2016) with Android 7.1 and all the recent Youtube ReVanced apps require Android 8+. The latest version you can use on Android 6+ is 17.36.37

My problem is videos stop loading after like a minute of playing, it gets stuck infinitely. I tried installing Vanced, which doesnt load videos at all anymore. Older versions of ReVanced, doesnt work. Other apps like NewPipe, but i dont like that they dont allow you to log-in to Google account. Also i heard that Youtube flags certain accounts like that, so you have to make a new one, but i dont want to abandon my 10 year old acc and build up my recommended page from scratch.

Is there anyone with old Androids? What is the solution here?

    custom OS sounds like overkill for a single problem i have, i like my 7.1 and lots of apps work without problems besides youtube. relearning everything is too much work for my dumb ass
