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.
Even the scrapping in theory could be restricted. I might be wrong there.
Possible maybe, but at that point if YT bascially becomes paywalled I will just stop using it entirely like I did with Reddit.
