It is open source. And it is free as in beer. It’s not free as in speech though. But I understand his reasons and they are justifiable IMO given the android ecosystem.
That would help if I had any idea what I’m doing with code.
I just know I see a comment with a link to something different from what’s in the video posted above, and I’m not sure about clicking that link in the comment.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Its open
sourcecode and Louis Rossman has a big following. If it ever gets anything malicious put in it the world will know quickly.It isn’t open source, the licence violates point six of the open source definition

it’s open source. feel free to check and compile it yourself.
In fact, Louis adresses the malware problem in the video
I’m not asking about the video, it looks legit. I’m wondering about the comment with a link that I replied to.
The app is open source. Rossman even tells you to check yourself
That would help if I had any idea what I’m doing with code.
