Youtube is doing its best and most aggressive lately to protect their ad platform. Third party services that allow you to watch youtube videos without ads or being tracked are suffering. Invidious, Newpipe, Freetube and the like.
Now Peertube is being affected and users cannot synchronize their youtube account with their peertube one. Basically a peertube instance has an IP, and google sees that this IP is trying to grab videos from their ad platform. So they blacklist the IP. Unfortunately we can't do much.
Nothing will change until we are brave enough to move to peertube entirely or similar platforms.
Therefore our videos.trom.tf/ is currently unable to import videos from youtube. And we may not be able to fix this.

Thank you so much Eduard for becoming the 77th supporter of TROM! We run a unique fundraiser for TROM in that we need only 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support us for the long run.
Distributed support so that it won't put a big toll on anyone, and a limited goal so that we do not get rich.
If you appreciate the so many things that we do at TROM (see tromsite.com) then please consider supporting us.

βThis project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance to come up with realistic solutionsβ
=> what kind of solution could this be? Iβm just curious as I couldnβt find any hint on your website. How could a word without trade look like?
Thank you Wojmir for the 10 Euros donation! Let us remind you that we desperately need help to fund our backups for all of our projects. We need to raise 300 Euros in less than 2 weeks. tromsite.com/trom-backup/
To keep on doing trade-free things in a trade-based world is a fight that requires a lot of struggles, almost like swimming against a tsunami. But what is the alternative? Give up and not do anything? That's by far the easiest solution since the water current will push you into the "normal" direction. But for now we are still trying with TROM. We have reached many thousands of minds and with very little funding required. Thus, if you think TROM is still relevant, consider to support it since I (Tio) cannot push it all by myself.
Big thanks to the few people who are still supporting TROM, financially or not.

At some point just a rule-based filter won't be enough.

Youtube is doing its best to not run a free video hosting service because video hosting is EXPENSIVE.
> Nothing will change until we are brave enough to move to peertube entirely or similar platforms.
Every time I use peertube I'm reminded why the existing solutions exist: video hosting is hard and expensive, and if you want it to work well you need a global CDN at a minimum. And your data needs to be hosted on mulitple continents so the backhaul to the origin isn't painful.
I tried to use the Peertube hosted by @jerry the other day and I took forever for a video to even start playing. I don't have a lot of confidence this is a problem we'll solve, at least not in a way that gives us an equal experience as we get when using the centralized platforms. Maybe in 10 years.

in reply to feld • •That's why they make a lot of profit and the ones running youtube are rich. They do not run a "free" video platform. It is trade-based. You pay with your attention (ads), data, or for premium with currency.
We run an instance. videos.trom.tf/ 1,381 users, 2,622 videos, 972.2 GB. We pay some 20 euros a month. With p2p the bandwidth can be shared. Peertube runners allow you to use peopleΕ computers for transcoding. It is doable.
