     @paul @alternativeto History informs us of this. Anybody remember Hooktube? The problem that we keep returning to is that ultimately, google are the ones who hold the entire yt video library hostage. People who upload videos need to stop using youtube altogether.

     From ‘fake privacy/security initiatives’: It’s the same situation as with search engines that don’t use their own index - you’re completely dependent on the violators you’re proxying.

     @alternativeto I find it funny when these things pop up... have they just now learned invidious exists?! what have they been doing for the last few years?
     what about all the other alternative YT front ends that are around which will grow to fit into the invidious shaped gap if it does end up ceasing (well... just try it YT, individous is not just one instance... you foooools!)
