#22> Some users believe that Google had sent cease & desist letter because the Vanced Team had posted NFT to earn money out of the vanced project. The Vanced NFT was never sold in the end. Besides, it was done as a joke and nothing more. Says everything you need to know about NFTs
What does this say about NFTs exactly?

"it was done as a joke and nothing more." can pretty much describe NFTs

#23> Vanced is discontinued for "legal reasons" as vanced was infringing the logo and branding of the original YouTube app as the logo resembles the original logo in a similar way and was used without taking prior permission from Google for using the branding. Huh?!? That was the only reason behind the C&D letter and they killed the product when a simple logo redesign could have solved the issue? Or the C&D letter would…
Seems legit. I think they think it's a warning shot, they are now on Google's list. This letter is a "nice" way of saying - guys well you are now on our list and shut down or well force you to shut down.
Smart play, rather end on a high note, without months and months of C&Do letters and axety and stress. Learn and move on.

Someone else could make a better version of it. But if I had to guess, they are using some internal tools or hacks to make it work the way it does.

#25> The main source of income for youtube isn't ads. YouTube revolves around the merchandise and YouTube Premium subscriptions. Lol. You can open Alphabet's 10-Q or 10-K and find out in a matter of seconds how untrue this is. Reminds me of the famous "Senator, we run ads " by Zuckerberg.
> Reminds me of the famous "Senator, we run ads " by Zuckerberg. Why? Zuckerberg wasn’t lying when he said Facebook makes their money from ads though.
Yes, and H8crilA is saying YouTube also exists off ads revenue.

#27I'm really sad I missed the boat on Vanced by one day. I'd heard about it for a long time and randomly decided to finally start using it only to find all the download links had been removed the day before. Youtube ads have become horrendously annoying. Does anyone know if the apks can be found on any archive site?
YouTube premium is 12 dollars a month.
For me, this is worth it to remove ads and add background play and picture-in-picture.

Isn't vanced just a patched version of the official app?
It's not mentioned in the article, but I imagine the copyright infringement, goes a lot further than simply infringing the trademarks and logos.
Presumably, they don't want to release the source code, because it would make it blatantly obvious.

This points to an NDA with Google.
