There were 20 instances before now it dwindled down to 3Is it over?Damn, I used it to search videos and copy the original links to paste into mpv yt-dlp
use https://github.com/user234683/youtube-local
>>103246928yeah it's been fucked for a while now and it makes me sad...
Who fucking cares? Jesus christ. Stop spamming the catalog with useless threads about ip harvesting frontends for youtube.
>>103246928nadeko seems to have a semi-custom setup with multiple "backends", idk what the fuck those are but it's a very reliable & fast instance for me.>>103247978i'll fucking kill youyoutube is an IP harvesting frontend for the library of alexandria
>>103246928good, fuck this lietral honeypot software. you shouldn't need to visit some obscure server to emulate youtube api requests. this could be a client side only application. anyone can modify and deploy it even if it is FOSS. you have no control what data they collect about you.
>>103248649It works with javascript turned off, how much of a honeypot can it be
>>103248671>ip harvester loving schizo thinks javascript is what makes or breaks a honeypot>insists on watching youtube videos but has been convinced by the voices in his head that youtube proper will gangstalk and molest him if he uses it
>>103248671retard. they can track every video you watch and they can grab your login information without fucking javascript.
>>103248585>nadeko seems to have a semi-custom setup with multiple "backends"Backend 1 is the only one actually playing videos for me, but I can view videos and channels just fine on the others
>>103247978Threads like these are the least of /g/'s worries.
>>103248649>you have no control what data they collect about you.same with youtubeif it's between youtube and some fucker's obscure server, i'll take my chances>this could be a client side only application. anyone can modify and deploy it even if it is FOSS.?>>103248838yeah i haven't seen more than two of them working at once recently, but it's better than the other instances where i usually have to refresh several times
>>103248704"we're all brothers and sisters in binds now, horse thief"
>>103249879let me spell it out for you again, you tech illiterate. you don't need a server to call the youtube api. this could be a normal desktop application without the need for an invidious instance, and this makes it suspicious that the intent is to grab information from users.
>>103249954yeah it could, but i think the idea is to anonymize traffic between the user and youtube, while still being able to use the service
>>103248704what login information are you talking about you literal monkey
>>103250101you can log into youtube through an invidious instance in the top right
it's not compelled, thoughyou guys all sound like children
i've never had a job though, so whatever
>>103250177it's for creating an account on the invidious instance tho.you don't login to your google on invidous lmao that would be completely retarded
>>103250290well, not necessarilysome people might not care about privacy, they just like the frontendin that case, it would be "nice" to access age restricted videos & your subscription feedatleast that's what i thought>it's for creating an account on the invidious instance tho.i didn't know you could do that
>>103250316you don't care about privacy so you give your Google account credentials to a random guy running an invidious instance??excuse me that's a bit extreme anon
>>103247978Kill yourself
>>103250350i figured some people like to take their retardation to the extreme, or maybe there was some sort of google widget thing which allowed logging in directly to google while still on the site
>>103247978>>103250385THEY TRAIN THEIR POSTERS TO DROP TRANNY THREADS ON PEOPLE, BUT WON'T ALLOW THEM TO POST ABOUT DECENTRALIZED TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE... IT'S SPAM!
