I've never had any trouble playing videos with NewPipe + Sponsorblock on Android.

In a desktop browser it's trickier, but Libredirect helps immensely to redirect to a working instance on the occasion that one of them is down/doesn't play the video

I don't rely on any bots. I'd recommend unchecking "show bot accounts." I know some people find a few of them helpful, and I don't want to sound ungrateful to the people who've developed them, but they mostly just clutter up the threads in my experience

does hiding bot accounts hide both comments and posts? I don't mind bot comments, but bot posts are annoying because they can be quite spammy and never have any activity (at least that i've seen). so far, i've just been user-blocking them as i see them...

Yes, it hides all bot activity whatsoever.
