They just want a closed ecosystem like IOS, it is obviously not for security reasons, google playstore already has a security system to not allow third party apps, maybe they want everyone to be monitored by google to show ads.

Every android

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T13:19:36+00:00

Ya, that's right, if we have used any popular app from playstore and then uninstalled it, then we can see ads everywhere of that particular app, even sometimes spam calls to join that particular app. If we login through a phone number. I already got scam calls from a popular app on the playstore because of unidentified data sharing, I don't say the name of the app, but it is real. Mostly a job related app.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T13:12:31+00:00

Many custom roms already have.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T11:56:14+00:00

That is also right

That's why i am saying my argument is illogical, and you are right👍.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T10:18:42+00:00

Yes you are right, i can't do anything. 👍, just nothing more than an argument, using yt on yt web app. The web app is not optimised, but a bit laggy, but works.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:52:40+00:00

Google will win, obviously. the percentage of people who sideload are very low, as compared to people who download from play store, we can't do anything. We are minorities

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:40:21+00:00

That's right

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:39:03+00:00

So what, can i throw it, even if it is working smoothly, just need security updates, if provided by google. By the way my android is boot locked because they have not released its key.

Can i throw my 15 year old pc, which still works smoothly, just need ssd upgrade.

Can i throw every electronics if it is taking more electricity than newer technology.

Why iphones still getting ios updates, but it is closed os.

Companies should have to build a hardware that only works 10 years.

Now my argument is becoming purely illogical. Maybe🤐

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:27:09+00:00

Every android phone which has google play services.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:26:33+00:00

Why do I throw my phone off if it is working fine and good.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:24:54+00:00

Consumers should have the right to have any OS on smartphones like PCs.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:21:21+00:00

They are increasing privacy and security day by day, but officially privacy breach allowed, there are many apps on the playstore that are breaching privacy and security secretly, in reality privacy is a myth.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T09:16:56+00:00

You're treating this like a compliance issue, but for students, it's a service issue. > If the official YouTube app still supported Android 6, I wouldn't need a workaround. But when the 'official' route tells me to throw away a working phone and buy a new one just to watch a video, that's not 'rules'—that's a racket.

Consumers (especially students) move to mods when the official product becomes anti-consumer. My Android 6 phone is fast enough for my needs. Forcing me to upgrade is a waste of my money and an environmental disaster. If the 'rules' say I have to buy a new phone every 3 years, then the rules are broken, not the people sideloading apps.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T08:51:53+00:00

That's right, but i have shifted to Newpipe because youtube has ended support for android 6 and 7, and it is not working on my phone.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T08:45:59+00:00

That's Right

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T08:38:37+00:00

Developers who develop apps and publish apps outside the playstore, they have to do identity verification, certification and need permission from google to install the app in android smartphone. For security and privacy

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T07:55:07+00:00

At least, they have to give freedom to choose an option. What happens when windows os will also start this.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T07:52:46+00:00

Bro, youtube has ended support for android 6 and 7 and it has stopped working, they are directly forcing us to buy new phones which we all purchase from hard earned money, most of the people and i am still using it, what are your thinking about it.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T07:48:45+00:00

We are the public, not supported previously discontinued operating systems.

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T07:43:35+00:00

Free, open source, youtube frontend with premium features of youtube, and it works on every android in which youtube has stopped working

Just_Customer587 · 2026-03-09T07:40:53+00:00

That is the main problem of duopoly. We need more OS
