While alternative app stores operate independently and are required by EU law, Apple is still in a position to exert some control. This became apparent a few weeks ago, when iTorrent users suddenly ran into trouble when installing the app.

Thought this was an interesting story, since it's pretty analagous to the recent Android situation, with third party app stores being enabled to some extent, but the company retaining ultimate censorship power.

I consider it worth it for an ad free utub sideload as well as a manga app I found through AltStore. The utub on its own was worth it.

Which utub app?

There is YouTube++ or YTlitePlus. They haven’t been updated in a while but do work as long as return downvote for shorts is disabled.
