    It doesn’t use the api. It scrapes their site.

    Google are playing whack a mole. The most persistent will win I’d say.

      For me too, but FreeTube on one of my desktops has died, half ot the Invidious sites I hit complain about “Protecting the community” and won’t play anymore, and Grayjay is hit-and-miss. And I read somewhere that the disruption even affects the official Youtube client.

      I think Google is A/B testing how much impact their next fuckery is going to have and you’re lucky enough to be in the A group at the moment.
