I'll be interested to see the ways ad blockers and similar tech try to get around this. I'll also have to think harder about archiving videos I like, instead of just assuming I have access to them, I do this with most things, but videos are not one of them.
Yeah and who would want to archive videos? They take up so much space. Especially if you're wanting to archive stuff like stream vods, etc. I just hope Piped and Newpipe can stay under Goolag's radar, but I'm sure by now they're well aware of them. They're definitely aware of Invidious after they sent that legal threat to them.
I'm sure more frontends will come out to get around the garbage, it's just a matter of when. The cat and mouse game continues. Might need to start archiving videos in the meantime though.
