So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.
Grayjay still seems to work.
I’ve had it fail to load a lot of stuff today. Something’s definitely up.
Was about to mention that. I’ve had no issues with it today
Smart tube also looks like it’s working this morning.
What about upcoming and not yet implemented do u not understand?
Oh but my “shit client x” still works Really steeeve? 🤷♂️
Seems like a needlessly condescending reaction to a simple statement, but go off I guess.
