YouTube very recently started aggressively banning IPs, mostly non-residential and forcing sign-ins.
yt-dlp and many invidious, piped instances affected: 403 errors or "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community"
Google's concept of community is wanting you to swallow their sludge advertisement and control your speech.
I take this as a challenge.
Piped is great but it was obvious that proxying would be shut down one day.
Even though I'm busy AF, I started prototyping something to take back great Youtube content. Involves nostr, blossom and ecash. More soon

🥲 ugh, this sucks. I use yt-dlp frequently
Looks like the 7.16 release solved the issue for me, I don't get the error messages from before 🤔
why do librewolf and brave still work?
Sucks. New pipe and tubular on Android don't work
New Pipe is working just fine for me today. Had to update to 27.1 but the awesome devs seems to have figured out a work around.
new pipe and new pipe nightly are work without problems for me rn
It works for me but it's recently not been consistent.
Man, and I just spun up an invidious instance for myself.
Sounds cool, fuck YT anyway.
Soumds great. Thank you for working on this!
Matt Drudge warned us years ago were this is all heading to. He called it digital gulags.
NOSTr and Bitcoin can stop the totalitarian tyranny if we all get aboard. 🧡
