RE: NewPipe - Watch Youtube Videos Without Ads

in #steemhunt7 years ago

HI @sarcastic.sperm,

Thanks for your hunt. Sadly enough I can not approve it as we do not accept apps which are not listed in the main App Store. Additionally this app may infringe on the use license of YouTube embeds and as such we can not approve it.

As per Steemhunt posting guidelines:

3. Product Link

We only accept these four product links:

  • Official product website
  • Major app store link (AppStore, PlayStore, etc)
  • Crowdfunding sites (Kickstarter, Indiegogo, etc)
  • Github, Bitbucket repositories for open source projects
Sort:  

Can I still provide the github product link?

It being open source doesn’t change the nature of the product nor does it suddenly make it an app hosted in the official play store.

As such that will not result in the hunt being approved. The main reason is because sideloading apps can involve a security risk and also because the app allows to circumvent YouTube ads which may be against YouTube’s terms of use.
