Piracy

I'm collecting on Google's debt

Google owes me for selling my info and tracking my every move. So, I figure using SmartTube is equivalent to collecting $19.99/mo.

Now, if I could just figure out how invoice them for my NAS.

Great to have alternatives! This community is really gaining speed in more "mainstream" circles. Lots of options are a great help to get them started. (don't forget stremio to collect from netfl*x et al.)

Thank you for this. I was fighting with SmartTube last night, it's great but it won't let me sign in. I will try this later.

Good place to start the collection process.

I just installed it on my Chromecast Android TV (the flat white pebble shaped one) and it's great. It's fairly simple in design. I can't get it to sign in but I'm not fussed, I can get any video I see on my phone in a few seconds with the voice command on the remote. Pretty neat app.

Google doesn't sell your data. They have people reach out to them and tell them what demographics to advertise to and then google uses your data internally to send you those ads. Probably not important to a lot of people regardless, but it is a major difference.

Also, Smart Tube/adblock isn't piracy.

Potato, potato. (hmm.. Doesn't work written out...)

Thanks for the correction, but I guess the main point is that they profit from my info.

Not pirating? Tell that to the parrot on my shoulder.
