This isn't a method to access any paid content for free. At "worst" it's an ad blocker.

And before you come up with some other shit, I'm from the pro-piracy lemmy instance. I don't actually care if I hurt Google, and if I want to support a creator then pretty much any other fuckong option than giving them more ad impressions on youtube will get more money to the creator. We're talking like 10,000 ad views for a few cents. It's not worth it, and the majority of creators I watch actively endorse ad blocking.

@wizardbeard @SamuraiBeandog
It's not really an ad blocker when it just doesn't implement however Youtube does ads. Ss far as I know, Youtube doesn't even document how to implement ads.

Accurate.

I was simplifying it for the type of person who could possibly think NewPipe was piracy.
