@runarcn Instead of YT, you could try #piped (an alternative front-end with ad blocker).

Currently we're *testing* #piped , the ad and tracking free #youtube frontend. You can just try it now:

or host it yourself:

@kuketzblog Danke vielmals für deine Empehlungsecke. Die ist wirklich sehr umfangreich und informativ. Und da steckt jede Menge Arbiet dahinter! Da hab ich jetzt gleich mal meine Suchmaschine geändert (war bei der Ente) und bin nun bei der youtube-Alternative #piped gelandet.

"Piped ist ein YouTube-Frontend für den Browser, dessen Quellcode auf #GitHub für jeden einsehbar ist.

Über #Piped lässt sich praktisch jedes #YouTube -Video anschauen – allerdings unter anderen Voraussetzungen:

Keine #Werbung oder #Tracking
Keine Verbindung mit #Google -Servern
Leichtgewichtiges und schnelles Interface

Wer es noch nicht kennt, probiert es doch einfach mal aus und setzt Euer #Lesezeichen .

What options are we gonna have if #YouTube basically killed every single #Invidious and #Piped preventing us from using these protocols to watch videos? They're basically evil now for the most of those privacy oriented users.

@userohnenamen even better: Not only does it not come with an adblocker, it doesn't load any to begin with :P

And because it uses #Piped in the background to achieve all of this, your privacy and anonymity towards google is preserved while watching

Truly a great project

Shoutout to #Piped and #Hyperpipe for just being cool software

@FreeTube Hi, thanks for your service. #invidious is similar to #piped except that Invidious embeds videos straight from #google by default. Means: My browser loads the video via Google servers, which, due to the system, is associated with the transmission of my IP address to Google. What happens if I use your app under #macOS and not the browser extension? Do I bypass google #tracking with local API? Thanks and best wishes

Google/YT blockt wohl mittlerweile "aktiv" #Piped Proxys 👎🏼 Bin gespannt, wie das weiter geht https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/2809

Moin !
Jemand eine Ahnung ob #Piped kaputt ist?

An update on #Piped instances being down: it doesn't seem to be another breaking change on the API. It seems that YouTube is simply blocking straight away traffic that comes from known ytproxy IP addresses: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/2820#issuecomment-1679954723

That explains why new instances that are running on new IPs are still working (for now).

Of course there are countless ways to mitigate this (using a VPN on my server and rotating IP addresses every couple of hours could be one), but I really don't want to do this anymore.

I'm really done playing this cat and dog game with motherfucking Google. I've spent years bypassing whichever restrictions they come up with against youtube-dl, Piped and Invidious. I just want to watch my videos in peace now.

Now they've reached the point of straight away banning IP addresses. There's nothing technically challenging to bypass here anymore, no new mechanism to break, nothing that a tinkerer like me would enjoy investigating and breaking. There's just a frustrated company struggling to remain profitable and relevant that has made it a mission to go after that <2% of users that use alternative clients, hoping that the crackdown will help them show a small uptick in revenue that they can then use to temporarily gaslight their shareholders.

Now they're just banning IP addresses like frustrated IRC admins in the 1990s because we've outsmarted all of their stupid restrictions, and they hope that people that hate them so much to invest time building alternative clients and drive ads revenue away from them will suddenly start using their official crappy app.

I just wish that these parasites die out ASAP, while I move on with my life and promise myself not to open a YouTube link in my life anymore - just like I've done with Reddit and Twitter.

And I hope that content creators will do so too, as their precious content is held hostage of a corporation that doesn't give a fuck about them, pays them peanuts (if it pays them at all), and those payouts will also decrease as the product becomes less profitable, and it'll not be afraid of limiting the distribution of their content if doing so has a chance of improving their own profit line. But a platform like YouTube without content creators will just die out: you guys have much more power than you think.

Come on creators, if I've gone through so much trouble to bypass YouTube's barriers was just to view your content. I'd be much happier to support you folks (and that means paying subscriptions and donating, not just watching a couple of ads) on any other platform you decide to move.

My #Piped instance is currently down, and so does every other Piped instance I know of: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/2809.

We started getting 403 on `/videoplayback` on the ytproxy starting ~12h ago.

This is most likely #YouTube trying to show that they're serious on cracking down on folks who watch videos without watching ads.

I wish that more content creators were on platforms like #Nebula. I wish there were more of them on #PeerTube too, but I understand the point that many of them make - PeerTube can't be monetized, and not everybody feels like always doing charity.

I'm happy to pay even $10 per month for a platform owned by the content creators themselves (or even a pay-as-you-go model), rather than contributing to Google's spyware and getting interrupted by ads every 10 minutes.

So if this is the nail in the coffin of my experience as a YouTube consumer, let it be it. Cracking whatever new algorithm the folks at Google have decided to implement in order to ensure that only those who are logged in and watch ads can watch videos is fun for a bit, but it becomes boring after a while. At some point I'd just like to move on with my life and watch videos on my tv without having to debug youtube-dl or Piped on a monthly basis.

If any of you know of alternative video platforms like Nebula, with high-quality content and owned by content creators themselves, let me know in the comments. I'm happy to support whoever starts to build a serious alternative to the YouTube cage.

Доречі #Piped виявився кращим за #Invidious працює в декілька разів стабільніше та зручніше

#Piped Instanzen scheinen defekt zu sein, auch die offizielle spielt keine Videos ab!

@notiondump Ich empfehle die Nutzung eines alternativen Front-Ends für #Youtube, wie #Invidious oder #Piped. (Und, wo möglich, uBlock origin als Browsererweiterung.)

I would like to thank @valere for providing a bunch of FOSS to preserve privacy at https://hostux.network including #simplelogin, #privatebin, #kutt, #piped, etc.

Is there a piped bot for mastodon?
#piped

@Bright5park #Invidious or #Piped is a good choice, though be aware that if you're the sole user, it won't help your privacy as much as it otherwise might. :)

sp-codes Updates:

In den letzten Tagen gab es einige Probleme mit dem #Matrix-Server und der #Mastodon-Instanz. Deshalb werden in den nächsten Tagen alle öffentlichen Dienste auf eine neue Infrastruktur migriert. Deshalb nicht wundern, wenn einzelne Dienste mal nicht erreichbar sind.

Da es schon länger Probleme mit #Piped, #SearX und #Firefox Sync gibt und ein zuverlässiger Betrieb hier nicht mehr möglich ist, werden diese Dienste am 21.07. abgeschaltet.

Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis!
