Freetube and individious are not playing some videos in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I've had some issues with Invidious being unable to play specific videos once or twice, but the issues tend to go away after a couple of days.

I mean, we know Google and Youtube are both multi-billion-dollar corporations that are absolutely enraged by the idea that there could be any possible way for a commoner pleb like you to NOT have your online experience absolutely crammed with as many privacy violations and hyper-targeted ads as possible. Invidious having to constantly stay ahead of such powerful entities' attempts to block them out means that some errors and periods of downtime are perfectly excusable- what's important is continuing to support them in their fight.

There's not going to be anything 'arbitrary' about those inspections... In a bad way.

Fun fact, a Tesla spokesperson describing the car's features was talking about how they wanted something on the car that didn't make it to final release and said "But sadly we couldn't get that law changed", which does... kind of imply that they lobbied the regulatory bodies into allowing this piece of shit to exist.
