For those not aware, a few months ago after reaching out to me, YouTube contacted the App Store stating that Juno does not adhere to YouTube guidelines and modifies the website in a way they don’t approve of, and alludes to their trademarks and iconography.
I don’t personally agree with this, as Juno is just a web view, and acts as little more than a browser extension that modifies CSS to make the website and video player look more “visionOS” like.
Go ask your mom who had to deal with your limewire phase in high-school if you can “sideload” apps on her phone.
You want sources or something, what are you expecting dude?

Side loading makes it seems like it’s not going through the proper channels. You are loading it from the side while the play store is the right way.

Between hero and Sidekick, which do you think is better. Stop nitpicking and find someone else to fight with, you lout.
Since when are any of those examples considered dangerous lmao
Sideloading is exactly the same as a side road. It’s a less polished and a less intended road for people to take.
Because it’s not downloading, which is the thing every one thinks is normal. It’s different, and potentially dangerous, which your phone will remind you any time you try to do it.
Not sure I get what you mean by this
You guys are kind of missing my point and hyper focusing on the word here.
There is nothing inherently dangerous about the word sidealley butt if you’re at night with someone that is already fearful of the city and you tell them you are taking a sidealley, they might not be so willing.
Someone that doesn’t know how to drive well will probably avoid the bumpy and confusing sideroads.
The word has negative connotation and it’s use is benefiting Google. That’s my main point, maybe I should of used less safe instead of dangerous.
I think any unknown phrase and method to install an app will be scary to a person who is that unknowledgeable about it. At that point there isn’t any phrase that you could use that wouldn’t sound sketchy to them, it isn’t the phrase that is the problem, it’s the fact that it’s unknown and the process is scary.
The people you are describing would still be skeptical even if you explained it to them (and they should be, since they likely don’t have the knowledge or resources to properly vet an application from an unknown source)
