      I thought All three of the ones I listed weren’t reliant on YT APIs and instead scraped their content.

      Edit: Just confirmed both NewPipe and Freetube do not use YouTube’s api. I’m not sure about GrayJay though.

          Possible maybe, but at that point if YT bascially becomes paywalled I will just stop using it entirely like I did with Reddit.
