    That seems like a good solution for some people, but personally I would like to keep Google Play off my device unless I’m actually forced yo install it.

      IIRC Revanced uses its own microG fork.

      The original YouTube app that it’s pafching is obviously still proprietary, but all patches and the patcher are open source.

      I don’t think it’s required actually, you just download the APK, patch it and then install it. I haven’t degoogled (yet) but there should be a patch that makes it independent from Google Play Services
