I haven't seen an ad in years
There are better alternatives for Android like NewPipe, Tubular and LibreTube
For PC, you can use FreeTube
Obligatory post mentioning that Freetube exists on Android as well. With Syncthing, I sync history, playlists and subscriptions. It's brilliant.
I know that it exists, I don't think it's a particularly good solution on Android though. There are native apps like the ones I mentioned before.
Btw syncing an SQLite database with syncthing sounds painful. How often do you have to deal with sync conflicts?
