I have youtube videos I want to listen to when I don't have eyes to spare. YouTube.com does some unholy mobile code that causes it to stop when you turn off your screen, even in your browser. Sometimes this can be bypassed by viewing in Firefox Mobile in desktop mode, but sometimes this just doesn't work. The Piped.video interface not only has no qualms about continuing playing when your screen is off, it offers an audio-only option so, presumably, I'm not streaming high-payload video data! Another win for over the greed.

@worldsendless my android YouTube app keeps playing when I turn off the screen. I have a vague recollection of configuring this at some point but I can't find the setting right now.
