They successfully went after Vanced 2 years ago so it's shouldn't be too far fetched for them.
And yet here I am using Revanced, which is even better than Vanced was
https://revanced.app/
Doesn't work for a lot of accounts anymore. It plays one minute for me, first minute of a video and then dies.
New account works. Incognito works.
Fairly sure that's a well-known issue. Not sure if it's been fixed on new versions, but I think there are workarounds for it at least.
Had that issue, deleting and recompiling/installing the app fixed it. It's some issue with spoofing the app signature. You shouldn't need to uninstall microG or the revanced manager, just revanced itself
It's annoying that you have to go through the effort of a reinstall, but that should fix it. Google isn't blocking or doing anything to accounts, at least not yet
There's a new patch for revanced which spoofs the client to fix this issue. Unfortunately it's an optional patch that a lot of people miss, so they still have issues. I haven't run into the "play a little bit then lock up" issue since the patch released
it's a common theory that the only reason they went after Vanced is because the Vanced team tried to monetize the mod by introducing NFTs
Many people in modding and fan communities convince themselves that companies only go after projects if they try to make money, but we also see that happening with free projects all the time, if they get enough attention.
Seeing that Google is already sending warnings to people who try to watch YouTube with adblockers, I don't think that's what made the difference.
They went after vanced because they made money (they tried selling nfts) from from modifying google's proprietary code. NewPipe team wrote everything themselves and dont make money from google code (they probably make no money at all)
