As it stands, both Piped and Invidious are dead. Because od that, I almost completely stopped watching youtube but l'd still sometimes like to check what the people I follow posted (I used to do that via Piped). Are there any new ways of following people without actually using Google? I'm aware of the tools that download new videos as they come out but I'm more interested in just "subscribing", kinda like RSS?
Ideally it would be on iOS

Edit: I found it, “Unwatched” on iOS is awesome, thanks to [email protected]

Yeah, but at least it's source available :P

Non-commercial clause, for those who are curious.

It doesn't allow for forking so it is effectively proprietary. It is critical that the community can fork something when they don't like the direction.

I agree that's an important aspect of open source, but for me personally it's more about being able to audit what is running on my machine. the fact that they show you the code lets me see and confirm for myself that they aren't doing anything shady like spying. Though it might not be good enough for some people it definitely is for me.

It's a level of transparency you won't ever get from truly "proprietary" software.

My concern is that FUTO will start claiming that some other third party clients are stealing the code.

Be mindful that you don't look at the Grayjay code before contributing to something like Newpipe

it does allowing forking and redistributing, but you cannot remove or obscure functionality related to payments. https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay/-/blob/master/LICENSE.md

It doesn't respect the 4 freedoms thus it isn't foss. Use it if you want but keep in mind that FUTO has full control over the rights of Grayjay.

Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I don't like that at all.

I use Tubular (Newpipe with Sponsorblock) from polymorphicshade, though lol.

Been a NewPipe user since the very first alpha
