Now might be good time to repost my article about how to watch #Youtube without ads on Apple TV.

People seems to be more concerned about ads and tracking and big tech companies collecting and selling your data. You can watch Youtube videos without tracking for example via #Invidious . There are other solutions as well, but this is the one I’m using. In the article I explain how I watch Youtube on my Apple TV by using Invidious and an app called #Yattee

Saukki.com · How to watch Youtube for free without ads on Apple TVYoutube shows huge amount of ads. You can block them by using an adblocker on a browser. But how to block youtube ads on Apple TV?

@The_Caretaker Is it sustainable? Does it have problems staying functional considering how Google keeps fucking with #invidious?

I try to avoid all YT content as much as possible now that YT has become Tor-hostile while also keeping Invidious hosts down.

It’s worth noting that YT-DLP is in Debian official repos, and Freetube is not. From there, I wonder how Freetube compares. YT-DLP has been rendered useless, at least over tor, whether connecting to Invidious instances or to Google. But it’s an attack on the network by Google so I don’t imagine another app can overcome it.

Leider geht das nicht mehr zuverlässig, seit scheiß Google begonnen hat, #invidious zu bekämpfen (mit absichtlich kompliziertem Code zum Abrufen der Streams, mit lawfare, und jetzt auch mit heftigem Rate-Limiting).

Wüsste nichts, was man da tun kann, als a) die Videos irgendwo zu cachen, b) Leute zu überzeugen, mehr auf Peertube zu veröffentlichen und nicht bei Youtube

@donburnside @nixCraft @trendytoots YouTube works with the #DuckDuckGo player 😉

I may be a bit more radical than most Internet users, but I refuse to use #YouTube for the same reason I refuse #Chrome: it's #Google.

#Invidious is a very nice condom to use if you want to watch stuff on YouTube without getting screwed over by Google, but Google is fighting it hard so it may not always work.

Using DuckDuckGo, you can also watch YouTube without tracking and commercials.

Invidious is to YouTube what Nitter is to Twitter: An alternative front-end that anybody can run on their own website that lets people watch videos on youtube.com. Note that Invidious instances don't host anything; they just embed videos from youtube.com.

Here is a list of verified instances: docs.invidious.io/instances/

man elgoog are really the slimiest of the slimy, for your reading pleasure, the error message from a failed invidious request:

Received error from YouTube: This helps protect our community.
Well gosh guys, I've had a change of heart about elgoog being a souless corporate monster - I guess all the data scraping is just their way of showing they care about us.
