I have ~100 users downloaded ~1000 of my files in the last week alone. Music piracy is still alive and kicking. I encourage everyone to download and install SoulseekQT/Nicotine+/Seeker-Android and share whatever kind of music you have for everybody to download. Let's bring back music piracy!

Is it fair to call them alternatives? They're just alternative front-ends to YouTube. I use Revanced along with Youtube Premium so I can use SponsorBlock along with not having ads

I'd say so. Considering both are free. And it's not YouTube. Yes it's using the front ends to YouTube, but I only need to use one app. Jerboa would be considered an alternative to Connect, would it not?

I just don't see a point either in paying YouTube subscription to use extra features and not have ads, when New Pipe and Freetube both do that without extra steps.

I guess that makes sense. I've just always liked the YouTube Mobile UI and don't see a reason to move away from it. Premium Family in my country is so cheap I pay less than half a US dollar every month for it

@yoichi @4onTheFloor

I use YouTube revanced simply because of sponsorblock and return youtube dislike.

Those features don't come with premium.

Understandable. And that's not a bad deal, pretty cheap. YouTube UI is not bad at all either. I preferred New Pipe because I didn't have to pay for it lol
