I'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?

> 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…
Vanced is a modified version of the official Youtube app. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure it's a copyright violation to distribute modified versions of someone else's software without their permission. What's probably not illegal to distribute is the source code for the tools they used to generate those modified Youtube apps, so I'm a bit surprised by how adamantly they're refusing to do so in this post.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It could be that Google says they're infringing on the logo design, and Google demanded that they stop distributing the app due to this. "We were also asked to remove all links for the distribution of any vanced apps that led to the decision of discontinuation." Whatever the second half of that sentence may mean in plain English, the whole article is hard to parse.
Logos are easy to change though
Sure, but the past is hard to change. So, when a company is threatening to take legal action based on violations you have already committed unless you take a specified set of steps, merely stopping future violations without complying with the rest of their demands is risky.

That makes no sense. Why is "YouTube Premium" capitalized?
YouTube Premium is an actual product, but as far as I'm aware it doesn't generate much revenue for creators which I why I assumed they meant channel membership. https://www.youtube.com/premium
I’ve heard that per viewer it brings in a lot more than the per viewer ads revenue from non-Premium viewers.
Not sure what the typical viewer numbers for each are; probably depends on the channel a lot.

> The vanced team will "NEVER" make its source code public. Making the source code available on the internet can cause serious complications for us.
???
Anyone have any idea (or even guesses) as to what that's about? Does the source contain a murder confession?

Do you subscribe to anything on the internet? Perhaps Spotify, your internet connection, Netflix? Have you considered their premium offering, or do you think YT should be free and without ads?

Now I get angry every time I end up in YouTube via incognito when using social media and an ad plays.
