i mostly use youtube for recommended page and i believe these apps with their separate accounts dont support that

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

that would be too much work for me, i would rather buy myself some cheap Redmi instead. i mean there has to be a huge chunk of people that use older phones because they dont care about playing games or (what else would you use new stronger phones for?). i think im gonna try to install default Youtube app, since we get no ads in russia anyways. but im gonna miss out on other Premium features

I pay like 7$/month for unlimited mobile data, but they do datacap and use very scetchy schemes aswell. I live in a countryside and we have 4G, but they offer you something called “pre-5G” for extra 4$. I tried it last month and obviously didn’t feel much difference since it’s the same 4G with a “higher priority, P2W”. But this month i disabled it and now my speeds are so bad during the day. Lots of websites can be laggy and slow from time to time, they’re literally forcing you to enable that thing back, even tho it wasn’t as bad before i enabled it.

Speed-wise it can easily get 1.2-1.8 MB/s on torrents, so it’s not that bad. But watching Twitch or Youtube can sometimes be annoying because connection can be pretty unstable during daylight, at night everything is perfect. And it’s not because there’s a lot of other people using mobile data in my area, i’m probably the only one who uses my certain provider here. They do deliberately “shape” the speed down for some reason and lots of people on russian forums complain about it.

Thanks for detailed explanation. Im too dumb for some of it, but i think i mostly understood.
So if i use my mobile network directly through a usd cable to my phone (not a USB 4G modem/router stick) the only way for me to use open ports is VPN? But i doubt it’s really worth it for me, since i never use VPN despite living in Russia. GoodbyeDPI does all the work for blocked domains

I don’t understand why everyone shits on uTorrent. Maybe new versions are bloated with miners and ads, but for example on Rutracker a custom version of uTorrent 3.2.3 is the most popular one and i’ve been using it for like 3 years without any problems. The only downside of it is that it has no dark mode, but that’s it.

When i tried using qBitTorrent i couldn’t set it up to use 100% of my traffic, it was very abrupt. So i just stick to uTorrent. Am i missing out on something?
