   "The developers of Invidious, a privacy-respecting alternative front-end for YouTube, have received a cease-and-desist notice from YouTube's legal department.
   [...]
   YouTube’s legal department had made contact, claiming to have become “recently aware” of breaches of YouTube terms of service agreements and developer policies.
   [...]
   The main problems apparent in Google’s cease and desist are straightforward; Invidious does not use YouTube’s API, and as a result, the project’s developers never agreed to any associated terms of service
   [...]
   Things will continue normally until they can’t anymore. Assume it’s just the start. Assume they’ll ask GitHub to takedown the repos (if so go to our Gitea gitea dot invidious dot io/iv-org). Assume the team wont be able to work on Invidious. You know what you have to do."

   Seems like the new CEO is hell bent on trying to prevent anybody from blocking ads and tracking

     yeah this would have been a great way to bypass their adblock-prevention shit once it goes through. I would expect nothing less from a pajeet. they are incredibly jewish with their greed.
     
     seems the team doesn't plan on complying with this unless they have to. I appreciate their attitude, but others will probably have to pick up the project after this

     @Narbray @DarkMahesvara The amount of shit uploaders have to censor have turned the platform into a fucking joke anyway. I just wish more people would move to other platforms but i guess deepthroating googles dick for that ad revenue is more important then producing uncensored content.
     
     Some vid i watched recently even censored the words 'blood' and 'gun'. :reimu_sigh:

     @DarkMahesvara it's sad news but honestly I saw it coming, I guess piped and newpipe will be next.
     However, stopping this is going to be hard, as you say there aren't many ways to prevent software like this.
     we will have to wait and see how it ends
     shit it really makes me want to leave youtube, it's the only google shit I still use by will

     @Tamamo @DarkMahesvara I've seen lots of videos that censor 'blood` and 'guns`.
     you don't want to see the disaster that is youtube in spanish they censor for any stupidity.
     but if creators don't want to switch to another platform, there's not much we can do about it.
     there is also a lot of convenience when using youtube the algorithm is sometimes very useful when you are looking for something new to watch and I have no idea how to receive notifications of the channels I follow.
     these are the main reasons why I haven't switched to piped yet

     @Narbray @Tamamo i blame mobile fags that still make pandering to youtube monetization profitable. many creator already make way more money with stuff outside of yt ads but guess yt also down ranks demonetized videos

     @Tamamo @Narbray @DarkMahesvara some people are fine not receiving ads, the problem is viewership
     
     YT is so fucking jewish that they straight up kill a video if it gets demonetized because they don't get any money from it (that's what they claim anyway)
     
     Getting the yellow icon means your video doesn't get recommended and even hidden from your subscribers
