Saw Louis Rossmans original video on the app and figured (and it may well have been) it would be buggy and awful at that point. Decided to gike it a try, the app has all the options I could want for watching youtube, it's multiplatform to a much greater degree than Newpipe and it's forks.

The reason I don't ever expect to go back to Newpipe or Libretube is the plugins update through the app, meaning I can get bypasses to YouTubes bullshit as fast as they're developed.

Newpipe is usually updated quickly, but in my experience forks like Tubular that include sponsorblocks often delay me from getting that update.

Overall, very good experience so far!

Someone explain the 10$ price that unlocks nothing and I also don't have to...pay? Is it not just a donation request at this point? I promise I'm not looking to argue semantics, but how am I, as a user, supposed to see this as a transparent attempt at differentiating from big tech if we don't call a spade a spade?

Either way, I like what they're trying to do, but it all seems too ambitious to pay atm. If they are still fighting a worthwhile and virtuous fight in a year from now, I'll pay double their 'current price'

I have no problem paying for software as long as it's free.
