I imagine it lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike
(lemmy.world)
It's a thankless job
It would be stupid, but very funny if someone created a YouTube bot for Piped links...
They'd get into an endless loop of responding to each other. Just a regular internet conversation then
Like when the reddit lotr bots get stuck in a loop.

What is the etiquette for posting YT links in this scenario? If the content is from YT I'd prefer to post the canonical link instead of a mirror that may go down or may get hugged to death. If you'd rather view on a mirror I'd suggest you use e.g. LibRedirect. Does this make sense? Are there better ideas? I'd like to promote non-YT frontends but am not sure what the best option here would be.
I would say just post the YT link and let folks do what they want with it. When someone only posts a piped link I don’t bother clicking because they are very unreliable for me and I pay for YouTube so I like to just use it and not deal with the bs.
I can't imagine there'd be any damage to posting two or more links: the YT one, a piped one, an invidious one, etc... All sides of the conversation that matter are covered.
I found Piped to be way too slow. Use Freetube instead.
I'm vibing with invidious
I blocked it because Piped never seems to work.
Do content creators get views if I watch a video through any of the front-ends?
Content creators get almost nothing from ads. You're better off donating $5 to their buymeacoffee or patreon or similar, etc.
Content creators barely get anything anyway
Imo piped fucking sucks and the page barely loads
That's why I blocked it.

You can block users.
It's a meme, not a support ticket 😅
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Idk, might need the little guy if uBlock loses the war on YouTube.
NewPipe
Newpipe uses the piped API
actually, both use the newpipe extractor https://newpipe.net/FAQ/download/#download-youtube-api https://docs.piped.video/docs/architecture/

That's great for mobile. Desktop I don't like using piped.video because it's ugly and slow so I just grab link from there then use yt-dlp + mpv.
newpipe is only on android...
