    This doesn’t answer OP’s question. Do you have a link to it?

    And why do you need to set your VPN to Europe to watch YouTube videos?

      The Olympics are a big deal for region locking. Exclusivity deals. If OP is USA they won’t be able to see anything but NBC.

      The answer to OP’s question is YT.
      Sometimes some yt clips are not reachable in the states, like from Gaza or Ukraine .
      its called geoblock , use VPN

        I’m sure you are aware of just how dogshit YouTube search is.

            Wait, you can’t copy and paste text on GrapheneOS?

            That seems really dumb.

              it just seems like they have no clue how to use their phone. or they created dozens of android user accounts, one for each app they use, which does not make any sense but really thwarts using the clipboard

              GrapheneOS is fantastic , it’s a de-Googled Google phone. I explained that copying and pasting from the NewPipe platform to Pie Fed wasn’t possible for security reasons, which you can set yourself app by app.
