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!

    It’s kinda BS that I haven’t gotten this yet. Louis is my heckin hero!

    Guys I gotta complain here though. I am the guy who made the very first comment of “is buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.” It was on this video as technol33t: https://youtu.be/tkmOddW1vu8

    On Louis’s latest video he credited and praised someone else who copied my comment! I’ve mostly just been content that nobody would know it’s me and that it’s just cool AF to see something I started go wild. Something about seeing my hero praise someone else for it got me triggered though. I want the credit now!!! Fuuuck me!

      I completely understand how you feel. My only advice is be happy with movement that you help start. At the end of the day, no one cares who “helped start it”, but you know what’s up. Let your heart be filled and your mind remain alert to the fuckery around us everyday. Cheers hero ;)

        I’m totally happy to see the phrase take off on its own. I just wanted Louis’s recognition.
