    It’s not just removing the ads, though. NewPipe also, of course, consumes YouTube’s bandwidth.

      I’m not saying NewPipe doesn’t use their bandwidth, just that taking YouTube’s app/UI code too just feels worse to me for some reason. It’s less about the logic of it and more about the feeling.
