The company's team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership. Although the announcement did not specify any app by name, it's plausible to presume that third-party YouTube apps such as NewPipe, YouTube ReVanced, Piped, and others might be implicated.

But Youtube already take more than half of what creator should earn.

Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

I googled. Isn't it 45% Youtube and 55% vid producer?

If they don't get demonitized or falsely copyright claimed.

Do you know how much it costs to build and host a video platform?
