> Because using the website is a better experience.

That is debatable. I personally find that the combination of Piped, yt-dlp and mpv provides a far better experience than the official frontends. But this is a personal opinion, and I'm not trying to convince anyone my choice is better. I just didn't think other technical users would prefer using the official frontends.

Thanks for your perspective, though I think it's a bit outdated.

> None of those tools worked with Sponsorblock last time I tried, for one.

Piped, yt-dlp and mpv all support Sponsorblock.
