But I do have a suggestion: Grayjay appears to have some sort of plugin system with which they push workarounds for Google's Youtube shenanigans very quickly. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I imagine the main Grayjay app framework mostly remains the same, while whatever regular expression or filter needs changing because Google purposedly broke the previous one gets uploaded to everybody quickly and efficiently.

I would suggest the NewPipe team implement something like that too. They'd have a much easier time than having to recompile the whole thing each time Google plays with their balls.

We need them to free us from Google’s monopoly at least a little bit.

I don't understand how using NewPipe could help breaking Google's monopoly since we are still consuming content from Google's server. using an alternative service like Peertube, Odysee could help us

@kionite231 @ExtremeDullard I have tried everything to ask my favorite creators to start posting on peertube but its impossible to find the content I am looking for on peertube :(
I hope someday peertube would take off

Peertube is great but it will never amount to anything until you can perform meaningful video and channel searches on it. At the moment, search is virtually nonexistent: you have to know what you're looking for exactly to finds something.
