Is there any front end YouTube that can allow me to still comment?

The platform is owned by Google. By using YouTube in any way, watching, liking, subscribing, commenting, searching, clicking, all of it, you’re “using Google”.

So, the answer is that you cannot use YouTube and not use Google.

If Google is broken up, that might change, but I’m not sure if that will ever happen, what form that might take or if it would ever happen at all.

Not really what I’m asking, but yes I get YouTube is Google.

You can use the Polycentric protocol on Grayjay, though I doubt any creators actually read it.

No because all comments require being logged into a google account.

Or should I just get used to not engaging or maybe bringing videos here

Yes. Do that. It helps Lemmy grow and helps G shrink.

At one time there were browser extensions that allowed you to comment on any web page and allowed other extension users to see your comments.

The comments were hosted through the extension and not on the pages themselves.

Something like that would be possible but I don’t know anyone offering it now. I presume no one wants to moderate that.

Other responses have covered the “not without being logged into Google” part, so I’ll just add that if you don’t care about being logged into Google and the thing you want from a front end is Sponsor Block, then yes: YouTube in a browser with the Sponsor Block extension. On Android, the YouTube app w/ Revanced accomplishes the same thing.

Pipepipe is way better than Revanced. Never liked the official YouTube layout and you still get shitty ads or “recommended” videos.

Does PipePipe allow the user to log into their Google account, though?

Psst. Nobody really cares about YouTube comments. You are writing to a black hole of nothingness.

They are the most toxic and hateful comments I have ever seen.

The closest that you can get it using something like Grayjay, where they have their own social media system, but your comments will only be intractable to other people using Grayjay.

No, not really. Commenting requires you do be signed in which means privacy is out the Window.

Why do you want to comment?
