Invidious is a fucking hydra.
Every x amount of time google cuts of a head the beast has to sleep a little but ultimately it just gets patched back.
Serious las week youtube stopped using Dash to serve videos and “It might take months to get invidious running again” turned in just 48 hours before an update arrived. ¯(ツ)_/¯
Youtube website ? You mean our shared datadrive server for storing online video footage?

That's how you know they are the good guys, when big corpo so horny about making sure to come up with countless ways to stop the app's usability – just like ublock

Adversarial Interoperability is my fetish

Peertube is great, it just needs more users. Best of all, it has no BS Crypto.

If the alternatives are Youtube rebroadcasters are they alternatives or just an adblocker wrapper?
That's not rhetorical. I don't know if I see a path for moving away from these huge UGC aggregators when the content is so consolidated or what doing that means. Is the endgame that Youtube's content poofs out of existence? Somebody nationalizing it or creating some public repository where however many exabytes of video Youtube is storing get replicated?

LBRY is a separate service, Newpipe and Freetube are third party apps, and Invidious is an alternative frontend. kinda confusing to put them all together
https://lemm.ee/comment/20271348I think the 'adblocker wrapper'-type is an imperfect ally as long as seperate services like LBRY and Peertube aren't popular enough. I think first we'll go through phase like when TikTok got introduced and Meta gave Instagram Stories and Google gave YouTube Stories where content is spread over a few services. You can already see a bit of overlap where content creators share the same content on paid platforms (thinking of Nebula) or share additional content on platforms like Patreon. I'm afraid being on youtube (and in its algorithms) drives so much traffic to a video that a creator cannot afford not to be there. Especially not the independent ones that rely on Google's ads as a base of income.

I liked freetube very much because I could export all subs to newpipe on my android. Adblock is a bit iffy on android browsers in my opinion, and newpipe works and looks a treat. Then youtube broke freetube. After about a week of it not working I stopped looking for an update and went back to browser+adblock on pc.
Sorry, freetube devs. Still appreciate you <3

uBlock Origin works as well on Firefox on Android as it does on desktop, in my experience.

Are they all alternatives or just alternative frontends? Peertube is early but a federated, separate service.
