That's a rhetorical question, in case there's any doubt. I know the exact what and why of their bullshit.

I use SmartTube on my TV and NewPipe on my phone. Except for links from Lemmy.
If this bullshit is/becomes a thing for every YouTube video, I'm gonna have to do a lot of annoying copying and pasting or just eschew pretty much all videos on Lemmy ๐คฌ
Agreed on Peertube btw.
i got NewPipe set as default, so links from Lemmy open there instead of the YT app
I finally managed to do that too, so there's that ๐ to Google. And then the specific video hit me with the dreaded "not available in your country" bullshit ๐คฆ
Thank you for letting me know this was a thing!! Total game-changer.
You're so very welcome! ๐
I wonder could someone write an app that watches the clipboard for YouTube URLs and auto launches the desired app?
You can uninstall YouTube and set newpipe as default "YouTube" app, all links will be open in that
UntrackMe, doesn't open an app, but redirects to a chosen Invidious instance. I use farside.link/invidious which chooses a random instance closer to you.
Alternatively, just use the share link on any function, and route it to the appropriate app. In this case, share a Youtube Link to the official app or to NewPipe.
There is a similar thing already written, minus the automatic part. You set it as your default browser and lets you do all sorts of things to the link before opening it in a browser. It lets you choose which app to use the link in afterwards. You can unshort urls, it checks for malware or redirects... You get the picture. Not sure if this helps with what you are after:

Not necessary, apps can register to open links from specific domains.
The only caveat is that if they don't also own the domain - like Google owns both youtube.com and the YouTube Android app - you have to manually go to the settings for the app in System Settings and enable them, under 'Open by default'.
