Its very funny to me that I only learned about Invidious recently because youtube is trying to take it down. I will never open youtube ever again. Ive been using addblock/tracking blockers for a decade at this point but now I don't even have to look at their shitty website with its ever degrading interface.

You can't stop the signal. Fuck you Google.

I mean if absolute worst comes to worst, the main project goes down a fork goes up and people just move over. I also host my own instance so itll live forever til they break it with an update. And hell, Vanced still works so... shrug

My thought's exactly. If the community is there and there's enough people willing to do the dev work, the project will go on indefinitely even if the author is forced to drop it.

Folks will always fight for their privacy.
