    Yeah I’d rather not give all my details for multiple sites to one site…regardless of who’s doing it.

    Y’all are ignoring what this actually is - an app for EVERY video platform. Also, restrictive license is fine as long as the source code is available. Rossman explains this is to keep people from just forking and making scam versions of the app like NewPipe sees.

      A lot of the people complaining about the license don’t get this. Also doubly surprised at those saying they won’t use it because the license doesn’t allow them to redistribute the app with malware, or charge money for it 🤦‍♂️

      I’m also completely baffled at the amount of people here who have never heard of Louis Rossmann… literally the dude behind Right to Repair

    Something about Louis just strikes me as extremely untrustworthy. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s definitely there.

      Its effectively unlimited trialware, like WinRar. Its provided free and has no payment verification, but if you use it regularly, you’re expected to pay the approximately $10 price tag.
