Interestingly, #YouTube claims that showing content on how to #download or even #watch #videos hosted on their site as "#HarmfulContent"...

And I'm not talking about 'bypassing paywalls' or 'circumventing age restrictions' but merely saying that '#YoutubeDLP got an #update' or 'a new #Invidious release came out.'

So not even encouraging "#crimes" like #piracy. (Which OFC they don't want to see on their platform!)

Simply having #ytdlp being shown as one of many programs in the #Flatpak Repo of #LinuxMint is apparently sufficient to get a video yeeted off the platform.

Seriously, WTF!?

Even #LinusTechTips and @geerlingguy ain't safe.

@noellemitchell While waiting for a fix, maybe try #Invidious or #Freetube...

@al1r4d that's true, but believe me, a (very!) few number of instances still bravely keep trotting despite the huge crackdown from Google on it!

Personally I just cut watching YouTube altogether once the crackdown began, a platform that doesn't respect me doesn't deserve my attention. However, I will still download music and a few documentaries from it every once in a while, which is the reason why I use #Invidious as an RSS feed to see if something interests me, then yt-dl' it. The error in question never happened to me until yesterday, and I thought it was hilarious!

#Invidious seems to be working right now, so I'll share this.

It's pretty good. Quite funny too.

@Natanox If so, there will not be much use of #Invidious anymore - as normies don't use it.

One of the more recent #Invidious instances [1] from the official list [2] seems to be using dn42, according to their main page [3].

Interesting. I'm curious whether networks like #dn42 will be getting more traction in the next years.

@oliof I've set up an #Invidious instance for myself recently. The UI is radically "minimal" and certainly less comfortable than YT itself but at least I don't have to deal with BS like adblock-blocking etc. https://invidious.io/

InvidiousInvidiousInvidious is an open source alternative front-end to YouTube.

Maar hoe blijf je op de hoogte van nieuwe video's als je geen #YouTube -account hebt? Is daar een workaround voor? #Invidious liet me hier ook in de steek. #dtv

Bonjour à tous.
Pour ceux qui n'auraient pas encore allumé leur poêle aujourd'hui, je conseille cette vidéo de l'Ademe sur l'allumage inversé, aussi appelé "allumage par le haut" ou "allumage top down".
Pour ma part c'est testé et approuvé, je le conseille chaque jour.
Une bonne habitude à prendre !

PS : Balancer des liens #invidious c'est aussi une bonne habitude à prendre.

I hate #youtube (or I love it?). I decided to put in a couple of bash scripts the list of required steps in order to build a #invidious private instance (and to destroy it as well...). enjoy.
