    I will wait until the GitLab has the apk. For one, it feels sus but being Rossmann, i will look the other way. The second issue is that I will not manualy check for updates every app I have on my phone and this app need to be compatible with Obtainium or on F-droid.

    Logs are disabled by default in the version I just tried. I like that.

    Otherwise, it basically does what Newpipe does, but supports more platforms, which is really nice.

    The videos I’ve tried loaded quickly, adding new platforms to the feed loads almost instantly, so very performant, all things considered.

    As far as I understand it, you can pay for a license, but you don’t have to?

      Exactly. Louis Rossman says that if you use it and don’t pay, that’s “between you and your god”.

          He had a sound reason why that’s not the case, and that’s to keep control over what people do to it. Namely they want to prevent redistribution with added trackers/ads/malware.

              no need for that! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I’m pretty sure they won’t care about this license.

              I think that in this case it’s just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.

          Ok, then you can think of the world where no one pays for any OSS and developers still need to pay rent.

          Don’t feel bullied if you can’t afford it, but if you use it, you can afford the 5(?) bucks and you don’t pay for it: that is kind of considered a dick move.

            Yes, same as guilt tripping users by calling up on their religion. I’m not going to use it, I haven’t even seen a screenshot of it. It was a sarcastic comment. I’m fine with newpipe FOSS project.

                it’s meant to make you feel bad as if god is going to judge you if you don’t pay. It’s what religion has been doing for generations.

                “if you come to church and don’t tithe, it’s between you and god”

                See how that has made pastors very rich? if you can’t see that, honestly, good for you…

                  Yeah, that’s not what he meant, though. It is clearly not meant as a serious “your yod is going to judge you”, but rather “I’m counting on the honor system and if you abuse my trust, you’re probably a dick, but I can’t do anything about it”.

                  Stop thinking being an atheist is a substitute for an actual personality.

    It’s a good start for a Revanced alternative.

    We have Newpipe and Libretube for complete local video management but it’s nice to have an additional one to Revanced. Whether it picks up and becomes big that remains to be seen.

      Aggregates video on many platforms into a single search and feed, so Twitter YouTube and Facebook for example are all in the same app
