Yes, you've already commented that and it's a good suggestion. Why did you need to write it twice?
It's in the current build cycle, so give it 1-2 days.
Where do you find images that you could get a link to? I don't understand that feature
The app now shows links to images that NewPipe fetches like thumbnails, avatars and banners. You can find them in the video descriptions and in the 'About' channel tab.
YouTube views are not counted in NewPipe and neither are Peertube views, but there is an open feature request for it here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/3092
I don't mean to doubt you, but are you sure that none of your 100+ subscribed channels have ever uploaded a short? Note that shorts aren't currently visible in NewPipe. You are of course correct that it could be caused by a different reason that is currently not known, though. If that's the case, it's usually a good idea to write a comment on the GitHub issue, but I understand that you might not want to do that.
I do think it's weird that this feature hasn't been added yet, though, as it seems pretty simple to implement. I'd write it myself, but NewPipe doesn't accept contributions for new features at the moment, which is kind of annoying.
I am not a GH user though, the place is pretty confusing for me honestly.
That's understandable. I just wanted to share it as a reference.
This comment from one of the developers suggests that it's seemingly only a problem with channels that have shorts, so you can use that as a starting point to find out what channels are failing to update.
I should note that this will likely not be a problem anymore once v0.26.0 releases with support for channel tabs, which should allow it to handle shorts properly. This is likely the reason that the feature request hasn't really been prioritized.
Install Saber from F-Droid or use the FOSS release on GitHub. Those releases don't include the Google ad library because it's proprietary.

Sorry, I didn't see that you were on Mastodon, that explains it.
