YSK a free, lightweight alternative to Spotify - Feddit.it

Why YSK: Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it. It’s better to find a free alternative, both for your wallet and for your peace of mind. Introducing: ViMusic Downloads: https://github.com/vfsfitvnm/ViMusic [https://github.com/vfsfitvnm/ViMusic] - Free and open source - No ads/trackers - Song lyrics - Music from both YouTube Music and YouTube - Weights 2MB or so - Beautiful UI and amazing UX Cons: no high kbps streaming support DO NOT TRY TO DOWNLOAD THE APP FROM ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN THE ONES LISTED IN THEIR GITHUB PAGE. They are malware.

How long is this likely to stay online? It sounds like it's circumventing paid services (YouTube Music, specifically) - I can't see Google being too happy about people skipping out on paying for their service.

(I'm not saying this is a bad idea, I'm openly wondering about the longevity of the app and slightly nervous about the dev's wallet when it might come to a lawsuit. I don't know if that's a thing that would happen.)

I too am weary...
How? Projects like Newpipe, Invidious, Freetube have existed forever. this is no different.
