Watched Louis Rossman today, and he's part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it's an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it's got a paid model similar to winrar, you don't have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

They can get forks taken down from legit places like GitHub, but this is the piracy community, isn't it?

Anyway, have you actually used the app? It's fucking amazing, it works flawlessly in my experience. I played with it for an hour and immediately gave them ten bucks, it's better than NewPipe, ReVanced, everything I've tried.

there could be a patchset made with ReVanced-CLI. It's an easy bypass if you know a bit of Java/Kotlin, even with release APKs

You don't need to bypass anything. You can just not pay and the app will continue functioning just fine.

It's the WinRAR model.

The patching is meant to convey that message of never paying, by removing the option and prompts + nags to pay, as well as create the experience of an app that is entirely free without such nags. Such patches exist for WinRAR as well to enhance user experience.
