Elcelesnewpipe.net removed from Google search results due to DMCA take down request
Took longer than I thought.
ChozoYeah, Google has been weirdly tolerant of NewPipe and other YT-scraping apps for a while. I wonder what changed.
DpwnShiftInterest rates? Reddit/Twitter/YouTube can't just exist perpetually being unprofitable now, they have to actually have a pathway to revenue, since Venture Capitalists won't just throw money at a hundred different projects, hoping one is successful...
It’s funny how every company’s goto to make more money is becoming an asshole.
Should we fix our algorithm, filter out the Nazis, stop malicious ads, and make premium a reasonable price? 🤔 No, let’s go crack down on newpipe and adblockers instead!
JWBananasI wonder what changed.
There is a link at the top of this page that will give you the answer.
I wonder what changed.
CEO. 😉
If the DMCA was sent by YouTube, ok. But in this case it has been sent by a french copyright troll that has nothing to do with YouTube
m-p{3}One less reason to use Google for search.
Ya. Duckduckgo is ok and Brave search is great
DDG let’s Microsoft through the cracks.
exu*the DDG browser
NixI don’t understand why people recommend duckduckgo. Its not open source, still includes ads (sure they’re no as invasive), they’re a for profit company who will do who knows what with our data when the investors want to increase their profits, and the search results aren’t very good causing people to use the !g google shortcut anyways.
If anything people should recommend a searx instance that uses google so you still get the good search results and dont feed google your data
Well I dislike Google more
t0frKind of surprised that Google didn’t already remove it considering it is an application that circumvents it’s own products
But you know, it was bound to happen eventually
Google is unusable now. Google images is the worst.
GrayNot being able to open image in new tab and download them anymore has made it functionally useless for me.
Yeah same, it’s so hard to open or download a pic now, I actually opened bing earlier out of frustration D’:
I_Miss_DanielSnipping tool FTW.
Yeah but you lose a ton of image resolution. The google preview isn’t even close to full size in most cases.
Yeah I'm only thinking of on screen stuff, not print etc.
SpeziSuchtelSnipping tool for a high res jpg, a svg or a png? good luck with that.
Aah ok. Different target audience :)
On the plus side, now you have a reason to get an 8k monitor!
There is an extension for that, available on Firefox and Chrome. I couldn’t use image search without it, to be honest.
You suck, Getty Images.
Omg, thank you so much for this - I had no idea!
Firefox is still out there, and great! You don’t have to be beholden to chrome’s bullshit.
That’s due to a lawsuit for copyrights… Google settled and made so users couldn’t download the image from the Google app, they need to visit the site
Ok, but if I open the site and it’s one of those automatically generated shit and the image is nowhere to be found…
And then the site doesn’t even have that image and a lot of websites are starting to do it on purpose. Therefore, the search has failed.
It’s over, google images is a bad product.
circuitfarmerThe enshittification is complete.
CrudmanBeen looking for this word, it’s so perfectly succinct and evocative of the Web 3.0 sludgeworld.
Search engines are almost entirely useless now. As much as I’d love an indie alternative, sending out millions of webcrawlers seems prohibitively expensive.
I’m a YouTube Premium subscriber that uses NewPipe. If they kill it I’ll be unsubbing.
why subscribe
Because it’s so cheap it’s essentially free. Family of 6 for less than £2 a month.
What’s the benefit of Premium if you’re gonna use NewPipe?
Every now and then I’ll cast to a TV or something and it avoids ads then.
I love how Google's original intent of simply cataloging the net has now turned them into a net nanny whose job it is to prohibit vile copyright scofflaws from infesting others with their demented thinking.
AnonymousLlamaHow's newpipe compared to sometime like revanced? Anyone given both a go?
I prefer revanced but newpipe is my backup
With the sponsorblock fork, it's perfect. Simple and very functional.
Depends on if you’re looking for something like the official app or not.
Nato BoramNewPipe is better for playing a playlist in the background, ReVanced is better for active watching and browsing
CatI thought Newpipe stopped working a long time ago. I could never get it to work. Time to give it another try. If it wasn't for Google blocking the site, I would have forgotten about Newpipe :-D
Works fine, but I often have to go to the website to get the latest update. F-Droid takes a while to catch up.
That could have been the prob before. Well I'm back on with all my subscriptions. YouTube is bearable!
Don’t forget that NewPipe × SponsorBlock is a fork that adds SponsorBlock. Also there’s ReVanced to make YouTube bearable while still having access to your curated feed.
Darkassassin07If you can find a copy, the original Vanced app still works great too. I never switched from it when the project died.
ReVanced is so much better. It can even block Reddit ads.
Vanced blocks YT ads and has sponsor block.
I no longer use Reddit, but Boost swaps reddits ads for banner ads that Pihole blocks.
With a self-hosted vpn keeping my phone behind Pihole, The only place I ever see ads is the Twitch app, but I really don’t watch that much so 🤷. I spend far more time on yt.
Been waiting till I need a new phone to explore ReVanced (as I don’t have an apk for Vanced, just the currently installed version). Just haven’t had any need for it yet.
Should be near instant if you add newpipe’s F-Droid repo instead of waiting for it to hit F-Droid’s main repo. Been a bit since the last release though.
Hey thanks for that! I’ve added the url and when I search for newpipe I get newpipe and legacy, but how do I know which repo fdroid is pulling these from? I don’t see anything in the interface that tells me it’s the right one. It says last updated 3 months ago for newpipe, does that sound right?
Yeah. It’s been a bit since the last update, but when they start doing rapid updates to fix something you’ll know you got the right one.
Hitaloduckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=newpipe -> top result is newpipe.net
The takedown request on google.com was submitted by Because Music : Home of Christine and the Queens, Manu Chao, Justice, Metronomy, Parcels, Ed Banger Records…
Is it finally time to switch to DuckDuckGo?
Newpipe is still on Google for me, but I recommend DDG anyway because of its bangs support.
This french copyright troll doesn’t hold any rights on YouTube (the website) so the DMCA removal request is invalid
No content hosted on newpipe.net is owned by that copyright troll, nor there are instructions or links to pirate that exact content so I don’t understand how it it can be considered valid. I should be rejected, together with all the subsequent requests
Google search is dead for me, i have been using duck duck go for about 5 years now. If I’m searching for newpipe, I expect to get newpipe as a result. If I dont its utter wank at indenxing the internet.
Feckin’ gobshite!
Wow, this is such shit. The request itself is so overly broad, it’s a shame that google chose (or was forced) to honor it. I see the following listed in the request:
