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)

Have you used it? It's like NewPipe except that it's better in almost every way. The ONLY downside is that it's just old-fashioned open source instead of FOSS.

It's not open source

Source available has never been the definition of open-source.

Incorrect. People have been calling random software open source since the 80s, because it's a very vague term. The new definition that you think is gospel wasn't invented until the OSI was formed in '98.
