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!

New Pipe and Freetube are great free alternatives to YouTube.

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

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
