Revanced still costs $0/month.
Newpipe = all the pros of YT Red, none of the cons, and you don't need root. ๐ค๐ผ
You don't need root for Revanced either!
NewPipe's great, but it's less useful because I prefer some features it doesn't have (like the ability to log in).
๐ค Uh, logging in is a feature of NP...
Wait, is it? Switched to Revanced because NP wouldn't let me.
Either's cool, no judgement ๐๐ฝ
Revanced still pays $0.00 to content creators.
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
How you personally feel about it is immaterial. Im simply pointing out to anyone reading this that your "revanced costs 0" line is only part of the story. I want the people who are making the stuff I watch to get paid. It cost them time and money to make it so its only fair they see some recompense. I dont like ads, so I pay for youtube premium. You do you.
Agreed. Perhaps for some others it isn't worth it but YouTube has been my main source of video entertainment since 2010 and I want to support the creators I watch so they can continue to make great content and without fear of censoring their videos for the sake of ad revenue.
