I wasnt sure if this best goes in /leek/ or /g/ but I'm curious what everyone uses for all your ~loid needs? Do you use more YouTube, Niconico, or Bilibili or all of them? Do you use web interface or apps? What apps do you use?
I currently still use videos from YouTube primarily because Niconico sometimes wont load for me and only goes to 720p and on the site itself I am often region blocked out it seems but I may start using it more if it becomes more convenient than YouTube to do so. I know a lot of producers release on Niconico first but do many only use Niconico?
App wise on Android I primarily use PipePipe (previously called AnimePipe) as is which is a fork of NewPipe that you can watch YouTube, Niconico and Bilibili videos on. I have noticed YouTube often blocks my IP so I have to reset my IP and watch some videos in YouTube's app letting some ads through to work again for that. Niconico features breaks a lot but they still are development so often it gets fixed in a few days, this is due to the site often changing how it embeds videos.
