      There’s some bot that links to piped, but i’d prefer people stop using youtube as a source for information / shilling their channel

            Wait it takes forever for you? Like the piped app? Mine has been instant for the last 2 years. Like straight up faster than the Youtube offical app

              Everytime I used Piped I would deal with buffering lasting an entire year, or the video just outright wouldn’t play (very common on kavin.rocks)

              Invidious doesn’t have this problem but it doesn’t support Sponsorblock and I’m not a big fan of its UI

              Maybe I’ll try again, could have been a bad day, but my experience was bad enough I could not justify considering it as a viable alternative.

              I thought it was unresponsive until I put my phone down to make some tea, came back and it just then started to play.

                I mean with how many upvotes your comment has, I think it means something is different between my experiences and other people’s. I’m just not sure what the cause of the difference is.

                  Yeah I just tried another one, it took 21 seconds to begin playing the video from when I pressed the play button.

      Because Privacy isn’t 1 or 0 situation. It is granular thing you may think using YouTube crosses the line but others might not agree.

      We as a community can choose what crosses the line for this community.

      Personally I am fine with YouTube links, there is usually a bot posting a more private link down below if you want. It makes it easy to pick one of the other it isn’t that big of a deal.
