Its very funny to me that I only learned about Invidious recently because youtube is trying to take it down. I will never open youtube ever again. Ive been using addblock/tracking blockers for a decade at this point but now I don’t even have to look at their shitty website with its ever degrading interface.

You can’t stop the signal. Fuck you Google.

    I truly don’t know what they think is going to happen. Its an open source, endlessly clonable piece of software. They killed Youtube Vanced and within a week Revanced popped up.

      I’m assuming Google is trying to use fear tactics as the API doesn’t come into play. If they require a Google account for YouTube access, then Invidious would be in trouble for sure. But this would also cut into the view count and it’s tougher to sell ad’s with less views.
