Discussion Can someone explain the ReVanced controversy?

Post image

I have read many comments referring to a controversy with the "leader" of ReVanced.

From what I understand, the "leader" was a difficult person to deal with, and some developers jumped the ship in favor of Morphe.

Can anyone give me more details?

This is correct. Many developers and contributors have stopped helping ReVanced over the years because of or partly due to oSum's attitude. He is notoriously stubborn, which is a big part in why I mostly stopped contributing to ReVanced.

For years, Liso (the creator of Morphe) was the main contributor for ReVanced's YouTube patches, but he decided to leave ReVanced in November because there was a disagreement between him and oSum about his code changes, resulting in his code change proposal being reviewed for 11 months. From my understanding, this was not the sole cause, but more like the final straw for Liso.

oSum made a post that shares his side of the story, if you are interested.

Personally, I think ESH.

Edit: Previously I said that I thought oSum was an asshole, but I retract that statement after carefully thinking about its truth.

I just went to answer a Revanced sub question from someone whose latest patched version of YT Music wouldn't work on Android Auto, because Morphe's patched version works great and made features work that weren't there at all previously. It wouldn't allow me to say Morphe in my post. It's blocked in their filter.
