Loving Freetube, Newpipe, and Grayjay more and more every day!
in the short term they work, but YouTube can cut those 3rd party apps access at any time for any reason. Use Peertube for the better long term.
I thought All three of the ones I listed weren’t reliant on YT APIs and instead scraped their content.
Edit: Just confirmed both NewPipe and Freetube do not use YouTube’s api. I’m not sure about GrayJay though.
Even the scrapping in theory could be restricted. I might be wrong there.
Possible maybe, but at that point if YT bascially becomes paywalled I will just stop using it entirely like I did with Reddit.
