I think you're using a copycat app from Play Store. It's not a real app which is only available through F-Droid.

Ah, that was probably it. Gotta admit, I deserved it then, for not reading carefully enough :)

It's a sad state of affairs, NewPipe being forbidden from distribution because the ad company that owns YouTube also owns the platorm's app store, and the app store being full of scammy apps including clones and malicious forks of F/OSS. No one deserves to be presented with traps like that. :-\

No clearer evidence of monopoly harming the consumer than this!
