Hi @kde, I love almost all things #KDE, but please reconsider the development and inclusion of PlasmaTube in the KDE gear applications.
Regardless of your stance on #YouTube, PlasmaTube is not dissimilar to outright stealing content. Invidious robs the producer of views, revenue, and engagement.
MANY of those content creators are producing FOSS and Linux content.
It's not a good look. And it's not something you should stand for.

@Bro666 @kde 1: it’s not my platform of choice. You’re putting words into my mouth.
2: When you consume content by willingly bypassing its original form of intended payment or price (in this case, viewing ads), is that not stealing?
Sometimes what’s even worse is that the content creator doesn’t even get a view credited to them. Views and engagement are important for them.

"Stealing" is a mighty serious accusation, Jason. And also not correct. You may want to reconsider your wording.
Also, YouTube traffics with users' data, promotes vile and toxic content (even to kids) for clicks, bans channels it doesn't like, and supports harassing creators with bogus copyright claims so it can push its own shitty media services.
So before censoring a not-for-profit FLOSS project, you may want to take a good hard look at your platform of choice.

@Bro666 @kde Also… are you saying it’s acceptable to punish the content creator because of YouTube’s policies?
