I will wait until the GitLab has the apk. For one, it feels sus but being Rossmann, i will look the other way. The second issue is that I will not manualy check for updates every app I have on my phone and this app need to be compatible with Obtainium or on F-droid.

Shouldn’t anything shilled by Rossmann automatically feel suspicious?
Logs are disabled by default in the version I just tried. I like that.
Otherwise, it basically does what Newpipe does, but supports more platforms, which is really nice.
The videos I’ve tried loaded quickly, adding new platforms to the feed loads almost instantly, so very performant, all things considered.
As far as I understand it, you can pay for a license, but you don’t have to?

Exactly. Louis Rossman says that if you use it and don’t pay, that’s “between you and your god”.
He had a sound reason why that’s not the case, and that’s to keep control over what people do to it. Namely they want to prevent redistribution with added trackers/ads/malware.
Ok, then you can think of the world where no one pays for any OSS and developers still need to pay rent.
Don’t feel bullied if you can’t afford it, but if you use it, you can afford the 5(?) bucks and you don’t pay for it: that is kind of considered a dick move.
It would be good if it was FOSS.
No cause they want to be able to prevent people from adding ads and tracking to the app and then redistributing it.
He talks about this in the announcement video.
I saw the video. Is that really against the FOSS philosophy? I imagine that you can’t do that with e.g. the kernel either.
The licencing they chose is a bit of a hack job, but I see the necessity. IMHO, it’s clear that they want to advance the libre software world.

There’s NewPipe, which is open-source.
I think it’s a good idea, I’m glad they made it, and if it takes off then I look forward to new pipe or free tube incorporating the same functionality into a open source project.
