People really need to just stfu about a certain other app. If ya know, ya know. Otherwise stop advertising it you morons…When you mention YT and IMMEDIATELY bring THAT up publicly, you’re not helping anyone.
Do you really think that Google is only going to take down an app or adjust the API based on some comments, posts, articles?
“Yo, Neal, did you see what that one person on Lemmy said? We gotta crack down on this API to fix that.”
Pal, any and every discussion about YouTube inevitably ends with it.
I think eventually, banning of entire Google accounts isn’t out of the question. I didn’t believe this 5 yrs ago. Today, I think it’s quite possible. They have their 100 MILLION YTP subs.
I seriously doubt banning the entirety of… non-conforming third party app users is something they would loose sleep over if it means stopping that in its tracks.
I’m just spit balling here. But I still don’t see the pros of rubbing your thumb in their face with it, publicly.
I know, API, Spoofing, Ect.
I know. You’ve more faith in that than myself. To actually believe there isn’t anything they can do to go the extra mile and end it, seems extremely nieve imo. It’s just my opinion at the end of the day.
Once you make a public mockery of them, and their name is synonymous with ___ then you’ll maybe get their full attention that we might not wish we’d receive in the end.

They would do it happily.

You’re not quite getting what I’m saying. I think they absolutely would/will crack down on this, but they’re going to do that regardless of what we say here. I don’t think our comments are going to push them into doing it faster, and us not saying anything is going to make them go slower. With the resources/money/monitoring/tech/etc they have, they are well aware of all these tools before most users of them are. Us saying nothing is not keeping a secret, nor is it guiding their actions. You give our comments too much weight, and much more than they will, if they even think of us.
