This isn’t a method to access any paid content for free. At “worst” it’s an ad blocker.
And before you come up with some other shit, I’m from the pro-piracy lemmy instance. I don’t actually care if I hurt Google, and if I want to support a creator then pretty much any other fuckong option than giving them more ad impressions on youtube will get more money to the creator. We’re talking like 10,000 ad views for a few cents. It’s not worth it, and the majority of creators I watch actively endorse ad blocking.
Dude, I don’t give a fuck if people pirate shit, go nuts. But to complain about a company trying to stop piracy is fucking stupid. What do you expect them to do just smile and be like ok here you go, invalidate our business model!

It’s not really an ad blocker when it just doesn’t implement however Youtube does ads. Ss far as I know, Youtube doesn’t even document how to implement ads.

Accurate.
I was simplifying it for the type of person who could possibly think NewPipe was piracy.
