YT’s blocked on it.
Just tried it. It works.
Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers

Workaround got released, that same issue just updated itself to indicate that. Still shitty of Google to be going full Reddit like this though.

Does grayjay rehost content from YouTube or are they using the YouTube backend for streaming video? I would be quite annoyed if anyone used my website as a host for content that’s being consumed on another website.
A few years ago (and to a lesser degree nowadays) you occasionally came across images which wouldn’t work if you “hotlinked” to them on another website. Images aren’t a huge deal anymore but video absolutely is.

They don’t host anything, they’re just an alternate front-end that lets you download stuff.

And no ads I presume.
Understandable that they would block it.
