A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

That is just Invidious https://github.com/iv-org/invidious And, while it may not be actively blocked, they are still on the risk of being API blocked as it is the case here.
The advantage of scraping is that it can't be really blocked if you make your private instance and you don't have to follow API ToS, the disadvantage is that it can easily break with little changes of the Youtube UI.
