Is Youtube revanced going to be affected in a similar way?
If it’s an API block, all 3rd party apps will be affected. We’re living in a dystopia, masquerading as a utopia.
Revanced isn’t really thirdparty though, that’s half the point. It will work the same way as the regular YouTube app.
That’s true. I didn’t think of that. Building on top of the official app is against YT’s EULA, and they could get sued (with how lawsuit-happy these companies have gotten as of late, it’s not out of the realm of possibility). Keep the installation file (APK/PAA/etc.) I’m case this happens. At least you’ll have the latest version before the demise.
Unlike Vanced, they don’t redistribute installation files, but rather just the patcher that includes the configurable patches. Revanced users have to already have YouTube apk whether it is from the installed YouTube app or just saved apk so that they could build a patched youtube “revanced” apk with the patcher.
However, I don’t know if redistribution of a patching tool to an app that’s against modification of its binaries is legal.
Oh sweet!
I don’t think that’s illegal. Because it’s “for educational use”. What you did with that education, is up to you…
