I just downloaded and have been loving this. It loads pretty quickly, navigation is intuitive, and I'll finally stop forgetting that Nebula exists because it'll all be in my one big subscription feed.
Since I'm new to moving over to open source, I want to ask the veterans: is this as incredible as it seems right now, or is there something I'm missing?
What happened to newpipe is the fault of Google's police's not allowing an official newpipe, not of Foss. The same issue can happen with this software just as well. There's plenty of Foss which doesn't have this issue, like Firefox
Ok but if Google is not willing to support this effort, like I asked what's your solution besides just letting it happen? Because that's not gonna spark confidence for mass adoption to move away from these bloated ad and tracker filled mainstream apps. You need to have steps for progress and this allows more control when those who are publishing said knock off applications in their store will not.

It doesn't matter whose fault it is.
If the same thing happens with this software, they will have it taken down. That's why the license exists.
Nice edit.
The reason why this happens only to newpipe and not to other Foss software like Firefox is because Google prevents an official newpipe on the app store. The could do the same with this app and license or not they’d have the same problem
No, it doesn't?
