What difference would invidious make if the video was modified on Source?
Comment on Youtube AI filter making it dangerous to watch for people with Epilepsy due to a bug

Ahahaha. A title cautioning not to watch YouTube with the description of the situation being… a YouTube video.
I’m avoiding YouTube so for others like me that want more info here’s a BBC article on the filter itself (not the failure mode):
bbc.co.uk/…/20250822-youtube-is-using-ai-to-edit-…
YouTube has secretly used artificial intelligence (AI) to tweak people’s videos without letting them know or asking permission. Wrinkles in shirts seem more defined. Skin is sharper in some places and smoother in others. Pay close attention to ears, and you may notice them warp
And an Invidious link that lets you view the video:

Oh, I don’t have epilepsy so I’m not avoiding YouTube because of this filter, I’m avoiding YouTube because of the money Google keeps giving to Trump and because I noticed that my tech usage isn’t very diversified and it was pretty all in on the US. From that perspective, it removes ad revenue

Yeah it’d be nice if people would start uploading to peertube…

Yeah, YouTube is really entrenched.
It’s not that hard to set your peertube account to autoupload any YouTube channel but we only get away with the IP issues while peertube is small so it’s not very sustainable.
I wish more of the creators that have ethical issues with the Trump administration’s actions would acknowledge that Google is enabling and actively supporting (at least through larger than usual donations to) the Trump administration and then choose to upload anywhere else, even if they keep uploads in two places. I wonder if they lose more IP control on peertube, it seems unlikely given the alternative is Google. I’ve tried to message a few creators but I think the larger ones have either contracts of fond memories of the community that they grew from.

To be fair, they also have little to gain now besides a slight feeling of doing something good but any alternative has to start from somewhere and need to get momentum.
