Androidスマホの定番アプリ YouTube Vancedは廃止になりました

突然の悲報なお知らせ　Androidスマホの定番アプリ　YouTube Vanced廃止

 

なんだか突然の情報で驚きました。

YouTube Vancedの廃止。

え！？と思いましたがマジなようです。

 

Vanced has been discontinued. In the coming days, the download links on the website will be taken down. We know this is not something you wanted to hear but it's something we need to do. Thank you all for supporting us over the years.

Based on these further statements, it seems that Google sent the Vanced developers a cease and desist letter. Some members of the Vanced community speculate that the developers drew negative attention from Google by releasing an NFT monetizing the YouTube Vanced brand. The Vanced developers drew a lot of flak over releasing the NFT and initially appeared defensive, but eventually deleted the tweets announcing the NFT and published an apology. Even so, releasing an NFT of the Vanced logo, which strongly resembles the YouTube logo, and associating the NFT with the YouTube name was probably a bad move on the part of the Vanced developers, from a legal perspective.

That said, we may never know exactly why Google moved to force the Vanced developers to discontinue the app. The developers have stated that “Currently installed versions will work just fine, until they become outdated in 2 years or so.” However, the Vanced app relies on the YouTube API, and we may see Google change the API to shutdown Vanced for good.

こちらです。

 

開発者は、「現在インストールされているバージョンは、2年ほどで古くなるまでは問題なく動作します」と述べています。ただし、VancedアプリはYouTube APIに依存しているため、GoogleがAPIを変更してVancedを完全にシャットダウンする場合があります。

さっそく代替え手段の記事も出て

いました。

 

YouTube is a platform we all know and love. But it’s one that doesn’t necessarily provide you with all of the features you may want out of the box. Despite paying for a YouTube Premium subscription, many of us also used to use Vanced for the additional features that it offered. While advertisements are part-and-parcel of any online service these days, alternatives such as Vanced offer more than just advertisement blocking. They provide features such as more granular video playback options, device spoofing (which was helpful in bypassing restrictions), bringing back the YouTube dislike button, SponsorBlock, and more. Even better was the ability to log in and watch YouTube on Huawei devices, something that you could only do in a browser otherwise. But recent developments with Vanced will force people to look for alternatives, and we’re here to help with that.
