    in the short term they work, but YouTube can cut those 3rd party apps access at any time for any reason. Use Peertube for the better long term.

      I thought All three of the ones I listed weren’t reliant on YT APIs and instead scraped their content.

      Edit: Just confirmed both NewPipe and Freetube do not use YouTube’s api. I’m not sure about GrayJay though.
