The problem with NewPipe and yt-dlp is they can get shut down at any given time the moment they have a cease and desist and/or DMCA takedown letter much like when Vanced was shut down. They're basically living on borrowed time. It's much of a reason why NewPipe has support for other platforms such as FramaTube and Soundcloud to prepare for that inevitable scenario.

I just wish there's viable alternatives to YouTube out there but sadly there isn't any.
