This is no shade against uncle dane or jontohil2, this is probably just youtube's fault

So, this sounds like an advertisement. Shouldn’t we require these to be labeled advertisements?

Youtube will also put videos in your feed that you can't watch because they don't exist yet. And you can't hide the nonexistent video because doing so will hide the video when it eventually does exist.

If you think things couldn't possibly get any worse, you clearly don't work for google.

God I hate that.

You go to click on it and it just says "coming soon!", but when it does come out, it is already buried in my subscriptions so I forget it was released.

Missed plenty of Death Battles because of this

very hush hush, but there's this app called New Pipe, available through F-droid

Google copied the ability to download multiple apps at the same time from F-droid. They're scared.

Play store is preinstalled on billions of devices, F-Droid is only used by a bunch of (very based) nerds.

Google is most definitely not scared of F-Droid

Copied what? The ability to multidoulwnload? Like what's been in Chrome for... forever? Of Firefox.. Or Internet Explorer.....Or BitTorrent?

Don't get all high and mighty acting like F-droid invented the concept.
