New pipe and inner tune still work fine.
For now
exactly, it would be trivial to have a whitelist server side and now only ad friendly apps can access the videos. they only still work because it's worth keeping those viewers in the system for the time being.
Trivial? What information does this whitelist hold that can't be spoofed? It's not like apps have to tell the truth about what they are.
People do that? Just have their code go on the internet and tell lies?! This is a Christian internet!
