People are reporting that upon opening a video, they will be met with this black screen
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/4/1/AAOGfWAAEYIx.jpg

I've already moved on to ReVanced a few months ago but sad to see Vanced die.
For those who don't know what Vanced was or you're an IPhone user, this was a free YouTube Premium.

Apparently it will just be a matter of time.
YouTube is updating their player and you may experience that error soon.
Get ready to switch to Revanced Extended

It actually works out for me, I had to get a new phone and wouldn't have been able to keep using it anyway.

so it was an add on or whatever that disabled YouTube ads? And then the creators of it tried to cash in with some NFT thing and that drew attention from Google, and they got banned?

Nothing, but I don't always turn on my PC just to watch a video

It was an alternative YouTube client that disabled ads, let you play videos in the background, etc. Google knew about it and were cool with it, until Vanced tried to cash in with NFTs. Then they got a cease & desist order from Google

You can use Youtube with a browser + adblocker on your phone.

What the hell is this topic about?

I had no idea myself but after doing a wikipedia search I got the answer:

YouTube Vanced (or simply Vanced) is a discontinued, modified third-party YouTube application for Android with a built-in ad blocker. Other features of the app include SponsorBlock, background play, free picture-in-picture (PiP), an AMOLED black theme, swipe control for brightness and volume, and the ability to restore dislike counts on YouTube videos. A YouTube Music version of Vanced was also developed.

The name Vanced originates from the word advanced but with ad removed, in reference to the software's ad blocking features

On March 13, 2022, the developers of YouTube Vanced announced that the application would be shut down after they received a cease and desist letter from Google, which forced the developers to stop developing and distributing the app. Although the app will continue to function for users who have already installed it, the app will likely stop working at some point in the future without any further updates.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube_Vanced

Hope it helps.

One of the Vanced features works still on the official app, as long as you are on Android. Picture in picture. It doesn't work on Apple I've heard. Android exclusive feature, now that Vanced is dead

I visit YouTube nearly everyday since I was a young teen (now I'm 26), and surprised I've never heard of Vanced before. I've been a sub to Premium for a long time tho.

Videos should still work in incognito mode.

But yeah, Vanced has been discontinued. Both ReVanced and Newpipe seem to be popular replacements. Or Smarttube for Android TV.

Much more convenient. The video loads faster on the app than browsers.
