No definitely don't sideload a YouTube client that doesn't play ads!

This is the real truth. Man, the gall of that guy.

Hi, we are a spyware company. Be aware. Don't load apps that don't meet our surveillance metrics. Only download our spyware. Thank you.

Screw that guy. How about only sideload. There's another world out there, and it doesn't equate to surveillance capitalism.
