So, i completely forgot about this because it had been a hot while since i last had a rooted phone. But yeah, in short the root method of installing vanced means it replaces stock/factory YouTube. Which is fine and all, until play store wants to whine and insist there's an update. Acting like stock YouTube is even remotely tolerable to use anymore.

Problem is i never figured out how to "detach" YouTube from the play store so thst i can keep using the new vanced manager to update it when they're ready. And play store keeps trying to sneak me into accepting their awful version.
 
I tried Vanced, and did not like it much at all.

Can't download if you are signed in, can't see your subscriptions if you are not signed in-
poooooooooop.
Just too much like Google.
Not to mention you need Micro G, and have to deal with that as well.
more pooooooooooop.

I just use NewPipe and have none of the issues, and can view my subscriptions and download at will.
And I never sign in or out at all.
