  Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

  Or how desperate google execs are to get even the tiniest bump in revenue.

  GrayJay is the only one that seems to still work without issue but it’s getting updates very regularly.

    Invidious and YouTube piped (and LibreTube) by default load the videos server-side, as opposed to GrayJay, NewPipe or Smarttube.

    It has advantages (mostly that your IP address is not shared with YouTube, and it allows users from countries where YouTube is blocked to still access it) and inconvenients (much harder to keep up when YouTube actively seeks to block them).

      Invidious shares your IP with google, it does not act as a proxy

        I’m pretty confident that you are wrong.
