Watched Louis Rossman today, and he’s part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more.

adblock already integrated, works amazingly with a quick test on my end - it’s an app in the Lemmy spirit

(it’s got a paid model similar to winrar, you don’t have to pay - but they do want you to - opensource and all)

    Note to pirates: the app still asks you to pay.

    Not hard to work around (just have to bypass these files) but the license does state that they can take down any forks for any reason or no reason at all, so I don’t expect an easy to use free fork to stay up unless they make enough money to sustain development.

      You don’t need to bypass anything. You can just not pay and the app will continue functioning just fine.

      It’s the WinRAR model.

        The patching is meant to convey that message of never paying, by removing the option and prompts + nags to pay, as well as create the experience of an app that is entirely free without such nags. Such patches exist for WinRAR as well to enhance user experience.
