      It is just an ask from the community. The app is free, you can use all the features free forever.

      That being said, it is always ethical and a good choice to pay for the services you use, get value from.

        I’d happily pay for YouTube if they hadn’t done bullshit free shenanigans to kill their competition while expanding their reach.

        I’ll never pay for YouTube now.

      Are you sure ? Because I could swear it has been announced as free . I have feeling there’s even opensorce code available.

        It is open source, but Louis said that albeit it is open source, the app is 10$ or something like that, but you are free to pirate it and he won’t be stopping you.

        Or, rather, the “premium” features. No idea what are those tho.

          This is his approach to IP broadly speaking, I believe.

          Edit for clarity:

          If you can’t effectively try something without paying, pirate it and pay if you want to and can support it.

          It’s a goodwill model.
