- bko 4y agoDo you find it reliable or is it whack-a-mole with constants updates required as the main service providers close exploits? Spotify surprises me because I would think the API is locked down and requests are authenticated. I guess it's abusing the free tier and spoofing the request to avoid rate limits?
- sudosysgen 4y agoIt is indeed abusing the free tier, and in my experience it's very low maintenance. I now have a subscription though.
- londons_explore 4y agoYoutube vanced require(d) an update approximately annually, but it has an auto-updater utility so it's just a few taps to do. Most hacked apps are similar (although there is no consistency).
- bko 4y agoIsn't a risk with using something like YouTube Vanced that Google could determine you're using it and ban your Google account. That could be somewhat mitigated by not signing in to YouTube when using YouTube Vanced, but google could easily determine your IP and compare that to the IP you're using with other Google services and ban your account. And considering how much people rely on Google services, it's a big risk. Or am I overstating the risk?
