You have recently posted a video describing how to install the topanga jailbreak with no computer via an ad support link. This alone is in violation of copyright, and to take it a step further, you have also hijacked the application to show ads to the user before allowing the user to tap the jailbreak button. You are now making money off of an app that isn’t yours without permission.

People have (including u/samg_is_a_ninja_) of course told cheesecake, and he confirmed that he didn’t give permission for iDeviceHelp to release this and said he was going to report it to youtube. I was originally going to let this go after that, but seeing as youtube still hasn’t removed it (and after searching, it appears they’re not very good at removing this sort of thing), We’ve decided to post here instead. Last year, iCrackUriDevice did a similar setup when the Yalu jailbreak was released, by linking an ad-supported website to is videos that would indirectly lead todesco’s page (http://yalu.qwertyoruiop.com) If you haven’t seen where that got him, well, he hasn’t recorded any videos since, and if you didn’t notice the glaringly obvious “FUCK ICRACKURIDEVICE”, now you have.

What you are doing is even worse. You’ve linked a jailbreak that cheesecake has specifically asked not to be compiled into an ipa through an ad-supported website, which is bad enough; but then taken it to an entirely new level: modifying the app to show ads before allowing the user to continue. This also means that the hash sum of the app cannot be verified, and therefore all builds of the app should be considered malware.

Even worse, once Cydia Installer is installed on iOS 11, you’ll notice that it doesn’t work. This means that when a fixed version is released, it will be very difficult to update. It will likely require downloading the cydia 1.1.28~b9 deb to a computer, extracting it, then using filza unbroken to delete every file related to cydia from the phone’s filesystem manually by using the extracted deb for reference. This is not an easy process, and while most of the users of this sub are probably up to the challenge, the average “jailbreak news” youtube viewer is almost certainly not. The only other way is to fully restore with Prometheus. This is actually slightly less complicated than manually removing it, but still a very entailed process, and requires blobs. If you don’t have blobs, you’re screwed buddy.

This should be reason for all youtubers, but especially those who are distributing modified copies of topanga, to remove their videos. Yes, it will cost them money, but it is immoral to be making money off screwing people over.

This is all completely unacceptable of any youtuber to do. They should know better. If you have 30 seconds of spare time, please go and “thumbs down” this video and leave a comment saying that what he’s doing is copyright violation and immoral to make money off someone else’s work.
