Took him a really long time to come up with this site.
It’s more ridiculous that you find a single 5-minute period to access years of content ridiculous.

No, I find it ridiculous that you are recommending that others use such a woefully bloated method simply because you remember it taking 5 minutes and have used it for years.
I don't intend to change your mind, I intend to imply to others reading that this is a silly and bloated way to do it that most people shouldn't follow unless they actually require Bluestacks for something, such as app testing or to use an Android app that contains specific functionality not available on PC.
Also, I remember when NewPipe was ass, so it also took that dev a "really long time" to come up with a functional app. Not really sure what your point is other than to attempt to delegitimize a solution that is better than yours. :b

Simply to point out your continued inaccuracies.
Someone else working out a solution that works better than your myriad of suggestions really seems to bother you.
You keep pretending that a couple of minutes is some laborious chore that no one would ever be able to work through.
You can keep pretending that installing two programs is difficult, but it isn’t, and I don’t think anyone following your inaccurate and easily disproved claims one after the other is going to believe you.

No one is saying that setting up NewPipe on Bluestacks is particularly difficult.
Everyone is just trying to tell you that it’s a needlessly convoluted way of watching YouTube videos on desktop, and that there exists many better options to achieve the same end result. Do what works for you, I definitely have some weird workflows and hacky work-arounds too, but expect people to push back if you try to recommend it to others because it’s a pretty bad recommendation.

I don’t find one-click computer programs convoluted, and by installing an Android environment you have instant single-click access to apps you wouldn’t otherwise be able to use on a computer.
I do appreciate you admitting that bluestacks is not as difficult as you are pretending it is, but pretending that single click access and operation is convoluted is not much better.
