  "account": "PipePipe is an independent project that was created early in 2022 by forking NewPipe. This means that PipePipe and NewPipe are two distinct projects, with no updates being exchanged between them. Changes made in NewPipe may not be adopted by PipePipe, and issues in NewPipe do not automatically affect PipePipe.\n\nThe primary motivation behind making a hard fork was to address issues promptly and frequently update features. PipePipe places a strong emphasis on privacy and security. It only uses the login cookie for the specific scenarios that the user configures. For YouTube, the cookie will be utilized only when retrieving playback streams.\n\nPipePipe welcomes issues and pull requests, but it should be noted that it will not accept service requests. Users who wish to develop their own services are encouraged to fork the repository. If PipePipe proves useful to you, consider becoming a supporter on Ko-Fi to help fund the development of more exciting new features. Every contribution, no matter how small, is greatly appreciated.\n\nSpecial thanks to Priveetee for researching SABR and implementing support for it, and to AioiLight for providing some code of the NicoNico service.",
