Obtanium is not meant as a replacement for f-droid. While it can be used as an f-droid frontend, I primarily use it to install from git repos such that I can track their releases page for updates automatically when using apps like freetube which generally only work reliably if you’re on the nightly release.
The F-droid app is complete garbage, also they don’t make it easy to install apps that are open source but don’t follow GPL. Obtainium is perfect, just point to git repository. Now all we need is a P2P source control service.
It’s not fdroid that doesn’t make it easy to insyall apps that are open source but not FOSS, it’s the licence of the non gpl open source softwarebthat usualy bans modifying, building and redistributing the code. It’s not foss, it’s just viewable source.
F-droid is better as it is an actual app store with actual rules. You can still add external repos but ideally you should use main.

Enjoy your spyware I guess.

This is not my experience at all with F-droid. F-droid only allows foss but that’s not limited to the GPL
