Newpipe existed long before Grayjay and will probably be there when grayjay dies since Newpipe's license allows community forks. If the Newpipe team ceases development, others will take their place.

It does not meet Eric S Raymond's definition, the one who invented the term "open source". It does not meet the Open Source Initiative definition either.

Almost 100% of my watching happens on the PC and I've absolutely fallen in love with Freetube. No shorts spam, sponsorblock, more useful features on the player, it's pretty fantastic. permalink fedilink source parent
