Revanced still costs $0/month.
Newpipe = all the pros of YT Red, none of the cons, and you don't need root. ๐ค๐ผ
You don't need root for Revanced either!
NewPipe's great, but it's less useful because I prefer some features it doesn't have (like the ability to log in).
๐ค Uh, logging in is a feature of NP...
Wait, is it? Switched to Revanced because NP wouldn't let me.
Either's cool, no judgement ๐๐ฝ
Revanced still pays $0.00 to content creators.
Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.
How you personally feel about it is immaterial. Im simply pointing out to anyone reading this that your "revanced costs 0" line is only part of the story. I want the people who are making the stuff I watch to get paid. It cost them time and money to make it so its only fair they see some recompense. I dont like ads, so I pay for youtube premium. You do you.
Agreed. Perhaps for some others it isn't worth it but YouTube has been my main source of video entertainment since 2010 and I want to support the creators I watch so they can continue to make great content and without fear of censoring their videos for the sake of ad revenue.
Well that's because you think you're entitled to free stuff.
Things cost money and people should get paid for the work they put in. A reasonable adult understands that.
