Premium has background playback! I use it to listen to video essays with my phone in my pocket when I'm working, screen off. Revanced was my go-to before premium but it has been a pain for me to patch recently (I'm just lazy) so I'm just using stock YT with Premium.

Yeah I've tried this but the experience isn't all there for me imo. It's certainly a great project though.

Huh, I must've misremembered.

I'm a GenZ-er, and I adblock everywhere I can. What makes the difference with YouTube premium for me is that I fall asleep to YouTube videos on a TV every night, and the advertisements alone can make that experience terrible because you can't adblock YT on a TV as easily as elsewhere. Premium might be one of my best decisions I've made for a platform I spend so much time on. I still donate to Wikipedia and uBlock even if I pay the premium for other services.

Venmo is, afaik, owned by PayPal, although they do a good job to not let on that it's a PayPal service.

Graphene sandboxes Google services heavily, and is enabled and used only at user discretion. It doesn't get higher priority than any other user application on the device. Calyx is alright but I would recommend Graphene much more than Calyx. I don't like either of these though unless you are a privacy nut. If you just want to get out of Google, LineageOS works plenty well although without many of the creature comforts of a stock ROM.

If you want a real fully featured solution, the Home Assistant companion is capable of location tracking and I believe you can send events that push an update, although it may not be accurate. There is also Locate My Device which I'm pretty sure is FOSS and works over SMS, a much lighter solution for your problem but not as convenient with like a Web UI and some such.

This post feels vaguely similar to Putin's justification of his invasion of Ukraine, something something denazification (when only very few extremists were actually Nazis).
