Has NewPipe v0.27.0 stopped working for anyone else? It won’t play anymore. It loads the video page and comments, but throws an error when attempting to play or download the video. I’ve submitted an error report, but was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

    we really need a FOSS decentralized video sharing platform to take hold

    I’d love for that to happen, but without being paid by a central company, content creators won’t…create content. Will it work with content creators own sponsors? Mmm…I don’t know

      Early YouTube was exactly this, though. Content creators creating for the sake of the content. Sponsors helped a lot, sure, but the vast majority did it without them. Also, current YouTube, many content creators don’t or can’t monetize. They still create.

        Yes, you’re right. Are we able to go back? I mean, do they want to go back from being paid to almost nothing? And if I’m not mistaken, professional YouTubers produce a quality of videos that didn’t exist back in the days.
