it actually works like this: one person that knows how to make the APK makes the apk and passes it along to their friends, everybody's happy unless they have an iphone.

Or they work for Alphabet-Google-YouTube...   ^-^

ataradov:
If something like this gets traction YT will just send cease and desist letter, just like they did for Vanced. And you can sit in a chair and talk how you are going to fight them all you want, but when this actually happens, they will stop the development.

And if YT wants to go thermonuclear, they can start closing accounts of the app users for violating TOS.

AVGresponding:
That sounds like the sort of solution that Musk would come up with. At that point I'd just stop watching YT completely,  though I accept that probably I'd be in the minority there.

Psi:
I think having the features of downloading and ad blocking pretty much means as soon as it becomes popular (if it becomes popular) YouTube will block it.
It will be extremely hard to stay ahead of googles efforts to block it once they decide to do so.

Keeping the linux downloader app youtube-dl working it hard enough for the devs and this is infinitely more complex.
