minus-square blindsight ( @blindsight@beehaw.org ) linkfedilink23•1 year agoDoes NewPipe use the YouTube API, or is it a scraper? Also, how will this fix Vanced, that’s using the actual YouTube app? There are also browser extensions that just play the ads, muted, at like 100× speed. It might as well just be a tiny buffering hiccup at that speed. I guess we’ll need to see, but I’m not too worried.

minus-square HopingForBetter ( @HopingForBetter@lemmy.today ) linkfedilink1•1 year agoYeah, every few 18 months you’ll probably have to get the latest api and re-revance it. But unless they lock up their api somehow, revanced should be good.
