Ok, then you can think of the world where no one pays for any OSS and developers still need to pay rent.
Don’t feel bullied if you can’t afford it, but if you use it, you can afford the 5(?) bucks and you don’t pay for it: that is kind of considered a dick move.
Yes, same as guilt tripping users by calling up on their religion. I’m not going to use it, I haven’t even seen a screenshot of it. It was a sarcastic comment. I’m fine with newpipe FOSS project.
Yeah, that’s not what he meant, though. It is clearly not meant as a serious “your yod is going to judge you”, but rather “I’m counting on the honor system and if you abuse my trust, you’re probably a dick, but I can’t do anything about it”.
Stop thinking being an atheist is a substitute for an actual personality.
He had a sound reason why that’s not the case, and that’s to keep control over what people do to it. Namely they want to prevent redistribution with added trackers/ads/malware.
no need for that! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I’m pretty sure they won’t care about this license.
I think that in this case it’s just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.
Exactly. Louis Rossman says that if you use it and don’t pay, that’s “between you and your god”.
That’s good. I don’t believe in god.

In what world is “that’s between you and your god” guilt tripping?
it’s meant to make you feel bad as if god is going to judge you if you don’t pay. It’s what religion has been doing for generations.
“if you come to church and don’t tithe, it’s between you and god”
See how that has made pastors very rich? if you can’t see that, honestly, good for you…

Bro thats the exact meaning of that turn of phrase
Context is important, “bro”. If the context is clearly ironic hit is), it’s basically a “I can’t stop you from being a dick”.
Shame it’s not fully FOSS

Has that ever prevented people from reverse-engineering an app?

No, but it gives them the legal avenue to go after malicious clones.
