While I echo the sentiment here ("Stop using Google!"), I am also concerned at the effects this may have on people that might have been helped by newpipe otherwise (and the chance that they go on their degoogle journey, spreading the word, or both).
I am suspicious enough of Google to imagine them looking forward to boosting those malicious clones in whatever way they can (without opening themselves up to trouble), and that any attempts for getting them to act against those malicious clones will fall on deaf ears.
I hope that there's a way to resolve this that bypasses Google (and its so-called search engine).
