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!

    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
