A single ticket sold is already one ticket too much.

So, essentially, the screws are being turned, only slower.

How come? The way you’re explaining it, it seems the situation is being exagerated.

You’re referring to the 24h waiting window.

But what is being stressed is that no unregistered developer will be able to supply software for Android. The people behind NewPipe are adamant on not complying, hence, the program ceasing to function on registered devices.

A slight high-jack to your post: NewPipe will stop working with the Google lockdown in September.

I personally think it will be a plus for me, as I keep YT open too much time but for those who rely on it for entertainment, info and whatnot, what alternatives will remain?

Give them the AI! All of it! And then we just wait.
