With Reddit shutting down its API setting a precedent in the corporate tech world (and Reddit was a major outlier in that a ton of their users are technical minded and support third party clients, YouTube does not have that kind of userbase and will not get backlash for it), Twitter doing whatever the fuck they're doing, and Google already hellbent on destroying ad blockers, the days of Newpipe, Invidious, and Freetube are numbered. Wouldn't be surprised if they implement Netflix level DRM tomorrow that makes alt clients impossible. I say savour your alt clients while you can guys, you won't be able to soon.

Ask me why I invested in Vimeo.

But seriously, it will just make competitors thrive.

I'll pay for a nebula subscription before I sit through a single YouTube ad.

Yea I think, if newpipe stops, I would switch to nebula. It would even help my yt addiction and I would support my youtubers without giving a share to youtube.

I've tried nebula because a video I wanted to watched on yt was released earlier there. That was the only video on the whole platform worth watching. It's clickbait, you pay for.

I like the Engineering dud, but this video looks a typical. Do they also have their yt videos on the platform or just other stuff.
