It seems that because Google banned our server IP (our invidious instance was a threat for them it seems) now you cannot import videos from Youtube to our Peertube. Endless issues. And for what!? For allowing people to watch Youtube videos without the crap hat Youtube adds on top of them.
Anyway, we need to seek for a solution. This is not a disaster by any means, but it is another warning sign of what these big companies are doing. All they want is to play the game of trade, because they are winning at it. So Youtube pretends to be a video platform, and thus we say: Cool, we installed this Youtube interface to allow people to watch the videos from your video platform, without all of the bloat. But Youtube is like "Whaaaat!? Nah! We NEED people to watch our ads, and we need to collect their data and make them give us their currencies!".
Because, you guessed it, Youtube is not a video platform. Videos are just a way to serve you ads. Youtube is an AD PLATFORM.

in reply to TROM • •Oh yeah, that and the news about reddit is making their API access paid with subscription, causing a clusterfuck to some very good alternative clients, including those useful for administrating the subreddits, make it even more clear that every nice and good service will eventually be fucked up by the accelerated urge of profit. You may start your service as "I wannabe ethic and care", but your end is kinda predetermined in this trade-based society..
