On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

Well, what about just not using your Google Account for stuff like YouTube, and instead using something like Freetube for newpipe?

So, you typed it into your browser, or codeberg, or obtainium, or whatever, and nothing came out?

Lately I've been having problems with Freetube but haven't with Materialious, for now.

Don't know if Freetube is working for anyone else, but I think it's slowly being stopped by the most recent yt features made to kill all 3rd party clients. At least on my end it sure feels like it.
