Anyone can publish there
if that were so then perhaps Newpipe and Revanced should be published there as well?
That's a decision of the app maker. I think they shouldn't, it'll help people become aware of and use f-droid instead of Google's products IMO
don't they break Google's TOS by circumventing YouTube access control?
They do. And blocking ads in ad based services also violates the play store ToS.. No idea how GreyJey got passed Google's censors.
so I thought
therefore my original question, no idea why so many people downvoted it
People probably took that as a passive aggressive attack against the app and a show of support for Google/YouTube's ad blocking policies. Try not to take it personally, people round here and back on Reddit always have their hackles permanently raised when it comes to issues like these.
Never thought about that, that's a good question
