IodeOS on FairPhone 4.

I’m only running FOSS application on it.

I feel you… the world is a sad place today…

Absolutely. He also pushed a lot of people over the edge (including me). I know at least 2 people who quit Reddit, and for at least me and one of them, it’s permanent.

They definitely are loosing users with this move, even if the subreddits come back.

Sure, because being non violent definitely fixes stuff…

Don’t forget:

“On va manger, les enfants”

What makes you think that it doesn’t?

The fact that it isn’t “the YouTube API”. The policy only applies to the API you can get “officially”.

That makes Invidious’ readme (which claims no YouTube APIs at all) disingenuous at the very least.

The InnerTube isn’t the YouTube API, far from it. So it’s still valid.

My own SearXNG instance. I get the best out of all search engines.

Hello,

The thing is that the agreement they linked apply to the official YouTube API (the one that you have to register for).

Invidious uses the InnerTube (a completely different “API” used by all official YouTube clients). Invidious basically acts like a web browser that access the YouTube website. It is therefore not required to agree to any TOS/policies.

All those findings where done via clean room reverse engineering (which is legal in the EU).
