Lol so is ReVanced my dude

[–] ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

ReVanced doesn't use the YouTube app/website, it modifies the YouTube apk into a completely different thing. The only thing that can break ReVanced is server side changes from YouTube.

And does something make you think that Google isn't capable of doing exactly that?

They're updating server-side rules constantly. And EVERY app update is also accompanied by a server-side update, even if it's small.

Ah but there's the catch, ReVanced just depends on server side YouTube changes.

Meanwhile, GrayJay depends on app-side & server side YouTube, Twitch, etc etc.
