     @lain Why are you running google's proprietary JavaScript instead of invidious and/or mpv+yt-dlp?

     @Suiseiseki why am i using a convenient interface instead of some hack that breaks all the time? a curious question indeed.

     @lain >He actually enjoys putting on the chains and locking the handcuffs over having freedom in exchange for the slight inconvenience of needing to update yt-dlp every month or so.

     @lain Watching videos really takes too much time, so I only tend to watch such videos when a link has been provided rather than search for them.
     
     For searching, Invidious works great in my experience and finding a working instance is easy.

     @Suiseiseki
     me: "hey x works again"
     you: "why do you use x use y"
     me: "y doesn't do what i need"
     you: "well the whole thing is stupid anyway so it's better if it's worse"

     @lain y (Invidious) does exactly what you claim to need and despite your claims of it breaking all the time, it works on my machine.
     
     It is indeed better if it's worse, but that was a additional point.
     
     I'm amazed at how high you jump to defend your loss of freedom based on a misplaced belief of convenience.

     @lain @Suiseiseki pipe-viewer for discovery and rss for subscriptions works well in my experience
