You went against the cult. How dare you!

Weird… why is piracy growing then? Every reasonable person should pay $300 to watch the shows they want on the weekend… and then pay a couple more hundreds in the theater.

Not your keys, not your coins

Encryption doesn’t protect you from being identified. Encryption prevents eavesdropping unto the connection from a third party. DMCA lawyers don’t need to do that to identify you as a seeder. All they need to do is request the content from you, watch you send to them, and make a record of your ip address.

The blacklist, maybe protects you. No idea. Though it can easily be circumvented by a motivated group.

For the record, payment is optional.

EDIT: I’m fascinated by the childishness of those who are complaining about the $10. Not only you don’t have to pay it, and not only that it’s open source, and not only the intentions are clear on why it’s not a permissive license made to fight filling average Joe with malware like always being done with NewPipe and others on Play Store, but also you can pick your poison. Would you like google to win this dumb war on ad blockers? Or would you like to support non-perfect people making FOSS apps for your benefit? I really don’t get you, guys. Pick your battles! Take the win and shut up for once!

You mean people shouldn’t chase that sweet, sweet fake internet score?

Didn’t people do this for centuries to farm and have enough food?

Who said that the goal of humanity is happiness and hedonism? Why not make responsibility your goal?

I can even contend that true happiness is reached through responsibility.

Try it out and decide for yourself.

I’m not sure I understand your philosophy there or you’re joking. Why is GPL so important? Isn’t the purpose of open-source to validate that no funny business is happening?

It’s open source and it’s free. You’re free to pay too if you want to support them. Software costs money.

What Louis is protecting against in his license is repurposing the app with malware and ads like was repeatedly done with new pipe. Pick your poison.

Try grayjay… it’s an AWESOME new app, open source, and supports all video networks you can think of as plugins.

It’s available on: grayjay.app

Obviously whoever is going to make the decision on what is “misinformation” and what’s not, has always been right… and can never, ever, ever have ulterior motives.

All good. Nothing to see here.

Thank you for standing your ground. You have my respect.

You get a 9/10 :D (joke)

Though I wouldn’t justify myself to the cult. You’re too nice for what the cult deserves.

You’re 100% correct, none of this is relevant to the problem. However…

Point No. 1 is irrelevant the most. Though being based on Chromium isn’t really a bad thing necessarily. Brave has removed all google stinks from brave. They have a full list of what they’ve done, and it’s very impressive.

Point No. 2 is not true. Brave doesn’t run any mining software in the background. That’s a myth. No one in the world runs the amount of monitoring I do on my computers, be it network monitoring, CPU, etc. Brave doesn’t do anything like that. I would’ve noticed in a microsecond.

Point No. 3 is the cultist reason for this.

Because it’s not allowed by the cult. Don’t you get it? The cult has decided that brave is bad… so… brave is bad for some dumb propagandistic reason that makes zero sense and that doesn’t contribute to solving OPs problem.
