Today I have been working on traverse a scamming project named invidious.
It turns out that they falsely are luring people to believe they software are protecting people against the #Big5 and helping ensuring users right to privacy. However it turns out to be yet another online scam.
Where do it becomes a hoax? they do offer a reverse proxy module, to ensure people's privacy. True, the problem is arising in the [documentation][pubServ], where they are listing a variety of insecure and that do not protect users with the proxy module, which allows #Alphabet to collect the very same amount of userdata, as if you have visited the YT domain it self.
The consequence of this is, normal users are lured into this spyware trap, by unfulfilled promises from:
1. The domain owner 2. The team of invidious.io
When I tried to help them solve this contradiction, also according to invidious.io own rules, the MR got turned down immediately and locked for comments. See https://github.com/iv-org/documentation/pull/571
This means the people behind invidious is fully aware and deliberately support this scam.

None of us, the invidious team and the public instance owners owes you anything.
You're not happy about it? Go pay the server hosting bills to those instance owners so that they can enable proxy (spoiler: 100-200€/month minimum) or go away, or you know, be productive and go host multiple public instances with proxy enabled. yourself. It's FOSS, you're not happy about it, you can do the work yourself.
