    Sure, I agree, but at the end of the day it’s useful to be able to search and watch YouTube videos so long as it’s a popular platform because it still has by far the bulk of topics covered.

      You can do that through their own interface though, there are browser extensions to do all the things invidious did anyway

      Not like going to the website will cause your computer to blow up or something, if privacy is the concern there are plenty of ways to anonymise it

          I suppose if you really can’t stand to give them any information at all, don’t want to pay and don’t use ads your only choice is to not use the service

          They provide a pretty good service all things considered and have to pay the bills for their servers somehow
