yt-dlp or embedded youtube links say “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” but for me the whole plan of this operation is that i don’t have to do that.

that’s pretty bad

(edit: it works again, i changed nothing just waited)

    I use Bravepipe. It is working great. You can also consolidate bitchute and rumble feeds with youtube.

    Their just mad they can’t track you as much. Switch VPN locations it takes sometimes many servers. Fuck them. Network issue.

    I recommend letting content creators about this and suggesting alternatives, e.g. PeerTube instances, Vimeo, etc.

    Haven’t checked today since I woke up and went to work. But the post is 14 hours old, which means when it was posted I was happily watching some Red Letter Media on Freetube last night. So working fine for me (then at least). Will check when I’m home.

    If you’re using a VPN try connecting to a server in Albania, I’ve never had issues when connected from there for yt

      true, that works for me. but having this moment where all of my default methods did not work was kind of scary. In the end all these methods are only temporary solutions and i think i should find more ways to completely ditch youtube

      I really want to like grayjay (love Louis and his philosophy), but the perma dark mode kills it for me. I don’t understand how some people enjoy that, it’s so depressing.

        Huh, well how about that, you’re right, no option for that. Well, it doesn’t bother me anyways, maybe one day they’ll add the option. 🤷‍♂️

          Don’t get me wrong, I have Grayjay installed, and it works flawlessly. Seems to work even better than Tubular which is what I use currently.

          This is my only gripe (well, and the fact that it isn’t open source, but I can live with that), and I really want the project to succeed. I just can’t get past the perma dark mode, but I’ll stay on the lookout for when it releases a light mode, and I’ll start using it then because I really want the project to succeed.

            It’s not open source in the full sense of open source, but the source code is available for download. You can do whatever you want with it, the only main catch is that you can’t distribute any modified versions.

      Does grayjay let you block channels on youtube? I’ve been using freetube and pipepipe due to the ability to block channels.

        I’m still learning the ins and outs of Grayjay, but apparently the answer is yes.

        Next to each video, you get an Options button.

        Under Actions, you get…

          It is a great feature for searches with how algorithm can flood results with bigger channels. Unfortunately app doesn’t have sponsorblock which has become a must for me.
