In the future, you can just manually replace www.youtube.com with piped.video to view it on Piped, since the rest of the URL is identical between Youtube and Piped.
Never thought of it that way. That does make me more positive towards their monetization and pricing, as it's much preferable to an IPO in my eyes. I'm afraid they might eventually do one regardless, though.
@newpipe It would be really nice if when the app fails to update one or more channels from ones subscription list that it would be possible to see which channels failed.
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.

This tutorial is pretty good as an introduction to modding APKs:https://old.reddit.com/r/ApksApps/comments/oat3qu/tutorial_how_to_modify_apk_files_for_premium/The example used is unlocking premium features but the principles are the same for disabling DRM.
