I'm not defending google here, but I'm sure a decent chunk of the complaints are just bitching because "change bad!"

I haven't seen the change yet and I'm sure there are legitimate complaints as well, but us online folk tend to detest even the smallest changes and go a bit overboard in our complaining sometimes.

Thanks, but it won't really affect me. I only use Freetube when I want to access Youtube

I use Freetube, but it's currently not playing any videos for me.

Always use the up-to-date version.

Whenever there's consistent playback issues there's usually an update on the horizon. Just have to be patient.

ETA: I'm watching videos on Freetube right now. It's working just fine.

I have 3 PCs running endeavouros, the other 2 updated freetube fine, but my main one has issues, even after uninstalling/reinstalling/updating to beta. I can open videos externally with mpv, but nothing will play on freetube itself.

Wish I could help you figure that out, but I'm a total linux noob. The EndeavourOS forums would be a good place to start though.
