I wonder what the full scope of privacy benefits might be here? Obviously, if you log into your account and interact with videos, YouTube will be able to see that--but are you protected from other forms of tracking? If you don't opt to login, how private is it really? With NewPipe, I know it's completely private, whereas with Vanced, there were some inevitable privacy holes. I'm really curious where this application falls in all of that. It'd be nice to see a breakdown of what this app does and does not do for one's privacy.
I think this app focuses more on following creators you support independent of the platform, for me personally it'll likely replace Nebula, Patreon and SoundCloud
Anything privacy related is a big bonus though.
It's not really focused on privacy. It's focused to be independent from the YouTube client so it doesn't matter if YouTube makes their platform worse.
