You probably installed from some app store?

You need to install from the github repository. Youtube changes interface every once in a while, this is really isnt any app's fault, but youtube's. Same thing happens to youtube-dl all the time.

Yes, F-droid, which NewPipe says they support.

If the app crashes with a Java stack backtrace, it's the app's fault.

This app is not for you. Use the mainstream.

Is it just me or has HN seen a huge influx of less-than-the-current-average "computer intelligence" in the last 6 months?

Looks like you have an old version. It says 0.19.6 is the current release. I haven’t tried this app but I suspect getting up to date will fix that.
