I agree with him. If you don't know what you are doing and just blindly install something off the Internet, it's a security concern. I would not recommend that most users side-load apps, either. You have to remember that this crowd is not representative of the average user.
Just don't take the option away from those of us who do know what they are doing.
Sorry, not sorry, not giving up on New Pipe. Best ad-free YouTube experience, period.
If we're not careful there will be a new generation of users who have no concept of "apps" at all, and will conflate sideloading (or anything 'not authorized') with an illegal process.
"CEO says" annnnd ignored. next time get someone with a soul to say whatever it is.
