Stop adding features #3661

@cherryland

Description

@cherryland

With every release, more useless features for special puppies are being added. The app is becoming unusable. These additional features go beyond the basic functionality. It results in software bloat and over-complication, rather than simple design. NewPipe is making the same mistake as Microsoft did 20 years ago: Adding features by user request. Microsoft Excel 1997 for example was so filled with "features", it became unusable.

Feature creep (also know as Featuritis, Creeping featurism or the spoonerism) kills good experiences.

I appreciate NewPipe's efforts, but the time has come to add some project management. You should define what basic functionality means and what the roadmap is. And most importantly, learn to just say no.
