Youtube changed something, again!

UPDATE: Fixed! 🎉 . It’s a really fucking messed up fix but it works for Invidious.

If you use Invidious regularly, you probably noticed that recently (like 3 hours before doing this post), all the fucking videos (or most of them, maybe ~80%) now just don’t play for whatever reason! This is not an error of my side, but it seems to be just another measure by FUCKING YOUTUBE SHIT DEVS (sorry I’m really mad) to block third party clients. I still don’t know the root cause of this but I know for sure that happened at 18:00UTC-0 as it can be seen in this awesome graph:

I’ll see what I can do to get around this, but if there is no way to fix it, thennnnnnnnn there is not a high chance to get the instance working as it did before. thanks youtube, thanks google, and fucking thank you Neal Moham

If you want to still use Youtube in a less shittier way, you can use Freetube on Desktop (it’s broken https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/6701 ), Newpipe on Android (idk if it even works) and if you are using an iPhone (xd), then Yatte should work if you have a private/seflhosted Piped or Invidious instance. (and if you have iPhone you are literally asking to get fucked in the ass by every corporation anyways, the ultimate definition of Enshittification since you can’t even prevent getting fucked in the ass by Apple)
