    We’ve had a no piracy rule over in the Android subs/communities for years and the funny thing is, by time we ever got to someone trying to post a pirated APK the community themselves tore them a new arsehole.

    Easiest rule to enforce when the community will absolutely hiss at you. Love em.

    edit: a fun talking point I suppose is YouTube, and its app. We got a lot of people arguing that Newpipe ‘was piracy’ and I even had many debates with other members/mods about is it, or isn’t it piracy?

    My view it’s a website that you can parse even with other tools like yt-dl, and if Youtube.com wanted to stop use of Newpipe / Revanced whatever they could in the blink of an eye.

      I had to ‘pirate’ geometry dash apk as only the lite version was on the play store. I’d already payed for the full version on Steam and iOS.
