Just more vindication for my ditching that trash heap of a platform. YT is probably going to be the next platform I ditch as they're going full Reddit now.

It's a matter of time before third-party YT front-ends start getting throttled or outright blocked like third-party Reddit front-ends.

    YouTube's already throttling users in their mobile site. They have these massive channel cards in their feeds and the video titles/thumbnails disappear after a few offerings, leaving you with the ability to blindly click on a video.

    I've declared my YT channel to be dormant starting on the 13th due to this AI age-gating crap.

    I wanna see if YouTube is that stupid they send my 18+ year old YT account an age verification check. April 2007 feels like a long time ago.....

    Dumping YT / gMaps / Google SSO etc and replacing them bit by bit is a hard vice to break, but I've got others using self hosted shit now (yay Immich and Jellyseerr arr....) and I'll keep on doing it for others too.

    And Invidious while being logged out of YT while that's still an option, but I have both a PeerTube and Odysee set up already.

    I seem to have the best luck with the inv.nadeko.net instance and to a lesser extent the invidious.nerdvpn.de instance, and both instances proxy by default.
