How is that “legal” though? Will it not be harassed by Google at some point to turn it down?
Comment on youtube getting more agressive

You can put up with that... Or you could just switch to a Piped instance and be done with it all.

It’s not illegal, but maybe against YT terms of service. I’ve seen reports that google is starting to IP ban piped instances.
I’m taking it with a grain of salt anyway, as I haven’t read any first hand accounts. And it would be interesting to see if google really is banning IPs, even ones in aws/azure/linode/gcp(lol)/etc IP blocks.

Piped is great, the content goes through a proxy so there’s no interaction with YouTube servers and your account and subscriptions are also isolated.

So wait how does that work? Are you still using your YouTube account on Piped or is it something else?

No, you make an account on that piped instance.

You can of course export your yt subscriptions as a CSV file and import them into Piped, and you can also use a difference instance to host your account/data as the one you’re using to stream the content.
