I admit it's a hot take because I couldn't actually load the site. However I read this and watched the relevant portion of his video: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37925589

The problem here is that he's attacking the general case of free software licenses - OK I get it that some people downloaded a malicious fork of Newpipe and that sucks. But that's not a reason to abandon free/open/copyleft licensing of software, which is essentially the case he's making. At the end of the day this is a guy who has a large audience and has decided to attack open source licensing. I get that he may be a good guy and do other things that are good but that is a serious problem.

He purposefully doesn't allow forks that add ads to the software, so it's less permissive than most open source licenses. But it does allow you to modify the source code for non-commercial use.
