I question whether lawyers are smart enough to understand what API means sometimes... They clearly aren't using YouTube's API so the whole letter is just false accusation. Maybe read the code first before making stupid allegations? No? This is a shitty for profit company? Makes sense in the current landscape I guess, all the shitty for profit services want to drive themselves into the ground for no reason now.

I'll be honest i haven't read their code. So invidious is just scraping youtube to pull all the data?

HELLO?? Am I in some kind of weird fever dream? Can the people running the matrix simulation tap the breaks so I can actually assess one platform burning at a time please?

Things escalated, folks. They got a C&D:

https://torrentfreak.com/youtube-orders-invidious-privacy-software-to-shut-down-in-7-days-230609/

Start backing up the source repos now.

This c&d wont do much since invidious didnt agree to any terms of service nor do they use youtube's API, that is atleast what the developers of invidious said on github
