Sounds like trouble for Newpipe, Sponsorblock, etc…

    Does NewPipe use the YouTube API, or is it a scraper? Also, how will this fix Vanced, that’s using the actual YouTube app?

    There are also browser extensions that just play the ads, muted, at like 100× speed. It might as well just be a tiny buffering hiccup at that speed.

    I guess we’ll need to see, but I’m not too worried.
